Sometimes the line is on the back. I just tripped myself up on evilbay. Waited smugly for a set of ‘original’ Sunderland notes to turn up with a couple of other publications. On opening the package there was the copyright on the back. £4.99 squandered!
Nice pictures Andy. I wonder if the spar survives anywhere, no one could have been in any doubt to it’s origin, they have painted the details in big letters at the bottom.
In their defence their customer service is excellent. I bought one of their grips fairly cheaply and it arrived with a switch missing. After a phone call they sent a complete new switch unit to replace the partial one. Very impressed.
Can you hear my piggy bank rattling, Nick? I did try a couple of low offers on their more portable items but with no success.
That is a very fine collection, with special jealousy directed towards the FRS1 stick. A treat to see in person, thanks Mark. The odd extra knuckle or linkage like the Sea Vixen really sets them off. I wonder if there’s a collective noun for a surfeit of Vulcan grips?
On the subject of expensive items, I wonder how much this Spit spade grip will make? They always seem to end before the sale price is revealed.

The seller has completely changed his listing on the prop. Good to see someone doing the right thing.
I very much doubt it! Never seen a Fortress prop like that and I don’t think we fitted our own blades. Don’t think any coastal command B17s came down in Herefordshire either.
And did it still work? The electrical connector looks a bit American to me! Could you take a close up of the label as that would help.
Even with my maths that’s not very long! Thanks for the info.
Nice work! Keep us updated, always good to see a bit of ‘doing’.
Jumble!
This looks interesting :rolleyes:

That looks a very impressive sim set up there, would love to see more!
