L7775 really needs to come back together doesn’t it. I have a Wellington throttlebox which may have originated from L7775. If the parts ever did come back together I would be happy to make it available
Thanks very much Beermat. I got your email.

Wow – I’d love to know which London museum he now works in
I was looking for some reamers on ebay and stumbled across these – there is no indication of their use, only the Spitfire part number that caught my eye. A lucky find. And for the record, although I am not an engineer I would say these are not bolts, but pins and agree with minimans.
Following on from Bruce’s mention of the reamer set, I just found one too. Probably never even used.

Mk 1a for me – it just looks so perfect

Okay – i’m back and don’t have to type posts on an iPhone. Looks like Defiant to me. Mr Splits – if you send a picture to the RAFM i’m sure they will confirm. I never heard of Lockheed hydraulics as a British company making hydraulics during WW2. The company that made this leg and many similar items was called Automotive Products. They do bear the Lockheed logo though. They also made a lot of hydraulics for the Whitley and various other British aircraft inc Oxford, Magister, Skua, Mosquito and Battle. The company is still manufacturing today and have helped me a lot.
This is off a British aircraft. The leg was made by AP. I’m in th USA right now but can check for you when I get back.
If the first part of that number is L98 then its mosquito
Can anyone say where in Alberta the Hornet was previously located?
I sold this seller ‘vongold’ some relic googles a while ago. They re-appeared on ebay, listed by him with an alleged history. He then blocked me from bidding on them! Ever wonder why so many of his items are too good to be true?
