The last two pics don’t look aircraft, the yellow electric motor looking very industrial. The control box you’ve labelled looks a bit solid for aircraft use, probably boat or military vehicle. The structural bits look aircraft but no idea what (although Wellington seems a safe bet on your bit of beach!)

Hello Nick, everything seems to be working now forum wise. You have an excellent collection there. I like the angled cuts on the columns to aid standing up. An F104 yoke is definitely on my wish list, would love to see some close ups. the P38 was an ebay buy, badly listed from an animal charity in the States. Interestingly the badge was identified by a forum member. The unit had passed through the UK close (relatively) to where I am now. They were flying the early, car wheel yoked model at the time and also through North Africa. On moving to Italy they re equipped with P38Js and stayed there for the duration of the war, hence the approximate id. Yes, the left hand trigger is locked, interesting fact. I like the fact the top button says ‘bombs’. No doubting that!
My mistake on the Greyhound/Hawkeye. Postage and import duty make it a lottery buying from your side, so items need to be very cheap. Like Martyn, I tend to go for sticks rather than yokes, but do have a few. Some pictured attractively screwed to a plank. Shelf space is an issue!

A fourth welcome Swifter, and a very nice yoke. Would love to see more!

That’s quite an essay, G1! Without going into the same depth, I think advertising was the main issue. Having attended the Halfpenny Green event with low expectations of selling it was something of a treat. I told one gentleman about the upcoming Old Sarum event and he was surprised not to have heard of it. He appeared at OS, confiding that he had looked everywhere he could think of for confirmation and found none. He was sufficiently keen to travel from Brum on my say so and was impressed. Good for buyers, as he put it!
The combination of flying models, military vehicles, daleks and some air show action at Halfpenny Green brought a lot of people out. Although not mainly ‘specialist collectors’ and only a couple of stallholders. That said, mildly interested passers by bought quite a lot of stuff. Perhaps Wulfie can comment on how it was advertised. However it was done it worked. Perhaps advertising to, or piggy backing with, militaria events might be a way forward.
There may not be huge events again, but all it takes is one loft clearer with no comprehension of eBay to lay out a table and a lot of people go home happy. I know I have.
I’m not sure poor attendance is a modern malaise either. I can remember driving the huge distance to Newark in the just pre ebay days to spend a very disappointing half hour walking around a very few stalls at an advertised jumble. Thankfully the museum made up for it.
Aerobilia II was a good day out in pleasant company and surroundings. I’ll certainly give it another go. Sunday would be the better day for me.
