Thanks Andrew, that’s excellent. I can make a correct label now.
Ooh, I like that!
Here’s a new acquisition. There was an old Shackleton yoke thread but this looks a bit different to the ones shown. It came without buttons but there are drilled and tapped holes for the spoke buttons. Cast part numbers are lost under the plastic coating at the back. Any ideas what mark? Pleased there is more photo room on the forum, or is that just to make up for the pics no longer displayed?
In a Generation Game remembering style: a repro early two fuel gauge Spit panel, an Adour engine label, some big Rpm gauges for my Vulcan panel and a bag of books, poring over for the use of. Didn’t buy any of the pile of £100 rusty Spit legs or the laughable £750 Hurricane panel which Dave pointed out.
If it’s green Big Ned, it could well be Spitfire and and as described. It’s not a bit I recognise but there’s plenty I don’t know! Was it the ‘red background’ vendor?
A great day out again, and unusually hot! Fewer stalls but some nice items. Missed out on something I’ve always wanted by seconds. A set of B17 chin turret controls. Bums. Did find a MkIX Spit prop blade at a car boot sale yesterday so not complaining. Good to meet and chat with some fellow forumites. Roll on Cockpitfest! That canopy was impressive Dave, a dangerous way to start a project though, top down! FlyBuy, you have an email, something on ebay.
If the auction is up at Stone it’s a spade grip and column with brake lever and no gun button. Would love to skive off work and bid! saw the catalogue but couldn’t work out online bidding.
Yesterday. http://www.mycommissionbid.com/bid/viewitem.php?id=528
Amazing work, that’s a lot of bent metal!

For the enthusiast who has everything.
Googling for some New Forest based camping this weekend before a bright and early Monday jumble start. Have been looking forward to it! See you there.
That looked like fun!
Hello Ned. Battle of Britain Spits would have been painted dark green, dark brown and sky. This looks grey to me. It also looks to have buried rather than surface recovered at the time. There is an ebay seller who regularly displays his wares on a red background, including parts of the mythical radial engined Spitfire (listed with full BoB history). That said I’m hellish colour blind and have real trouble with green.
Lovely, great detail with the vids. Is there anything left in the cockpit?
Very impressive. Do post more!
That’s a useful looking lump of Spitfire. Would love to see more of it.
