Very exotic clouds there Bill! Thanks for minding the stall, it gets a bit lonely sat out on your own, as there was a double ‘no show’ next to me.
Although the plan was to de clutter, it wasn’t a total success. This nice lump of Phantom from the museum clear out and a box of American bits were a welcome offer towards the end of the day. Roll on Cockpitfest!

What a lovely picture! Looks like it’s freshly arrived.

[QUOTE=Swifter;2205395] Whilst the aircraft we’re collecting components from had very serious war/conflict oriented missions;
Yes, it always seems an odd juxtaposition having company logos on the centre caps of killing machines, ‘your mission today is sponsored by Boeing’ etc.
Your B26 yoke is a beaut Nick, rather like a beefier B17 yoke. The second pilot got a much spindlier one, much like an Anson wheel. Interesting on the Anson price mark up, relisted, reduced and still not sold.
I’d be curious to know the B26 price although I suspect ‘new car’ rather than ‘hobby’ money!
Good link, Fly.Buy although very much window shopping without international postage.

The numbering and stainless steel construction look American. the aviationarchaeology.com database has ’81’ as P40. Could be an RAF Tomahawk, there were plenty over here.

Quite right! Corsair grips should also have a VS Vought Sikorsky part number, not NAF. The column looks more heli than Hellcat. Those NAF grips even appear in some Nimrods, to aim a searchlight. (the one at Norwich airport museum does anyway)
