I have been told in the last 48 hours by a guy who usually does not mess about that there could possibly be some major disposals from the IWM at Duxford very shortly. I do not know if it has any connection with London closing for around 14 months while they do up the place or not but his initial info is to expect such things as vehicles,tanks and possibly some aviation related items going up for sale/disposal/auction all to move on very soon.
Has anyone else any knowledge of this please as I dont think a lot of stuff actually belongs to them and like the Shackleton is still on RAF charge !!!.
I know what you will all be saying now we have heard this sort of thing before well put it this way if the guy was tipping horses I would put a lot of money on !!!.

And did he by any chance say what items these ‘might’ be? :confused:
A museum i highly recommend. Excellent work Ben
As above. Well done all in such difficult conditions.
Hmm interesting. I copied this piccy of a Mk2 seat that went on ebay recently. It shows a 3 second barostatic unit fitted, which got me wondering about different units for different applications / Mk’s of seat.
Thanks Mike. I’ve noticed some with a different time release marked on them and wondered if that helped identify the seat Mk or variant. This one is stamped 1.25 second. It came with (but not fitted to) a very early MK1 seat i have dated 1950, but is not necessarily part of the same seat.
Well i enjoyed it, thanks Howard. Its always a pleasure going to NAM. Looking around there seemed to be a good selection of control grips and columns on offer, with varying prices to boot. I did however think the general parts side of things seemed to be a bit thinner this time, but maybe that was just me.
Did manage to come away with a couple of small items and as always it was good to catch up with fellow addicts…. errr i mean enthusiasts 😀
You on commission TonyT? 😀
Thanks for posting up the pics Gary. That site had so much potential for a permanent museum, but sadly its not to be. Although i’m sure it will bounce back, hopefully better and stronger!
