That’s great news. I’m sorry to hear Chris Baguley died – he took me on a tour of Kenley once – a very decent man. RIP Chris.

The teleflex levers look like the airscrew speed controls from a Beaufighter. Granted the friction knob is in a rather inaccessible place, but the throttle was on its right side anyway so no ideal place to put it!

Hi Air Min – what interesting finds! Mazlo is/was an American company so not British. Pm/email sent regarding your Whitley fuel **** lever collection.

I also think it’s time that silly name (maid of harlech) was purged from the thread. Pretty please mods. I don’t see the harm in getting involved with Tighar, in fact if they want to help me recover a Whitley from the English Channel I would be delighted.

Whitleys had de-icer boots. Not sure about Hampdens as they had leading edge slats.

Maybe they are plentiful in Canada Peter – I can’t remember seeing an Air Ministry one anywhere. If someone has one spare, please let me know!

I would try Deox-c on this Peter. It will not damage the paint and clean up the rust. I have found that it can help with corroded aluminium too. It would be a pity to lose the paint.

Thanks to everyone who helped. Its origins seem to be northern UK. I just wonder if it originated from one of the Scottish Martlet/Wildcat mountain wrecks, as it came with a lot of high ground wreck parts although I seem to remember being told this particular wheel came from a scrapyard. I’ll reconfirm…

Thanks J Boyle. It looks like the date is 4 6 43 on the outer rim. The Bendix part number for the wheel seems to be 57358. There is a further number on the rim which is an assembly no and is 57345.

I just googled the 57358 number and it comes back as F4F Wildcat. Can anyone confirm that please?

No harm done Air Min. My copy is from Sept 2003 – possibly a first edition? It might be worth something some day…!

That’s interesting – I got the 6a/622 code from the very respected vol.1 of the Illustrated Guide to British Aircraft Equipment 1939-1945. Apologies to Miclittle if this is not the case!

It’s a sprocket for the Hercules engine controls Walter, but i’m afraid I can’t be more specific than that.
