Best not to trust labels. There are a number of people on eBay and elsewhere trawling the internet and battle of Britain/ blitz then and now to make up more attractive histories. Sad but true. Never ever ever buy a Zeppelin relic labeled ‘London museum of war’ or similar.

Glad to see it’s being well looked after Hawker 1966! For a little more detail, the attached are from AP 113D-1609-13, July 86, covering AC64614, AC64616 and AC64618. The differences being the lengths of cable. Confusingly, the brake lever illustration shows the older plug connection.
That’s interesting re the white paint, Mark. The aviation equivalent of painting by numbers!

A little knowledge is a dangerous thing! Looked just like the photo!

A thoroughly good day out as a stallholder. Sold a big model Sopwith Camel before even getting to my table, shuffled in next to a friend I’ve not seen for a while and met some lovely people. The museum staff couldn’t have been more accommodating and there were sufficient numbers through the door to keep it interesting (unlike last year). There was a good variety of stalls; photos, books, models, clothing, wreckage and instruments but not a huge number. Prices were very reasonable , Mk17F oxygen regulators £8, big lumps of instrument panel for a tenner etc. Best purchases for me were cylinder heads off a Ju188 and Martlet. I’m not a fan of selling crash remains but having had an interest in both losses it seemed churlish not to take them into the fold.
Having packed up it was a treat to tour the museum and sit in everything. Looking forward to next year already. Glad you like the Hunter grip, hawker1966. It’s a slippery slope onto jet stuff now! Always good to put faces to avatars.

Not that golden Ann Summers grip I hasten to add? Lol.
Unfortunately I won’t be there but Happy hunting to all for tomorrow, hope it goes well.

If it were for sale it would be decently covered with a doiley, FLY.BUY! On the joystick stands front, with exams nearly over the school workshop can be turned to more useful activities… A sixties pair I also fancied.

Hello Phil, welcome to the forum! Good spot with the Arrow stick, as you say, you don’t get much rarer than that. It would look good next to Rocketeer’s TSR2 grip, the death of two aircraft industries side by side.
I’d be tempted to use fine wet and dry paper to clean off ugly lettering, the surface can then be polished back with Brasso or toothpaste. This guy might well do replacement decals: http://www.oncealoft.com/ .They are definitely available somewhere and I’m after the autopilot lettering to go on mine.
As far as collections go, I bought one grip to sit on the shelf and that was going to be it. None of that collecting lark…

Excellent! There was an interesting Russian Stuka dig on this site: http://www.warrelics.eu/forum/military-archaeology/. You need to register and it will take some tracking down! I downloaded this photo from the dig in 2007.
