John, you are in luck! I’ve just had a mounting CNC cut as per the AVRO drawings for a Lancaster Wireless operators compartment. If you can PM a contact number I’ll give you the details.

Thanks Alan for all your help with this project. The lamps from #123 and your assistance with research at the PRO has allowed us to restore probably the last surviving original wartime heavy bomber maintenance trailer. Your foresight to save these items all those years ago made this happen and no doubt many more projects will come to fruition thanks to the garage that keeps on giving, Thank you.

Thanks AM, that’s really good of you. We will make sure someone will be there but I’m hoping to go myself.

Hi Air Ministry,

Ref Item 2 on #168, its part of the Mk3 IFF set up, so late war, early postwar aircraft i believe.

Just wondering, do you still have the lights on #123 available please? I haven’t managed to positively identify them but I’m sure they wont lookout of place on our wheeled inspection platform restoration.

Thanks

Pretty sure that tiny parachute is used for dropping Sonar buoys from aircraft, but then again you can never tell on this forum. Looking forward to finding out as I had one years ago.

Is the X type white or brown webbing Alan? If it’s the wartime white then I think you might be pleasantly surprised at the value.

Great Heinkel sequences but the film was really let down by the Memphis belle style Spitfire glide at the end. Surely the sudden realism and limited time factor of a forced landing would have added more to the film effect than the soaring seagull.

Still, much better than a night sat watching Corrie…
