Hi Mark,
that is correct, several parts of this airframe do still exist albeit in different places now.

Ahhh I still remember that Auction at Gary Camms vividly. Sabre spares (Complete wings and Rudders in crates), Spitfire Spares and come to think of it there was a little bit of everything almost 😀

Yes, it was sad to say the least… My photos taken a couple years before that Airshow display speak of its condition then!

Awesome work chaps!! So its looking like my hunch was correct about Hurricane 😀 The Provenance of which is even stronger as the South African Air Force operated a few!

Righty O, After some considerable persuasion I managed to extricate the prop from the hub.
A quick clean with some acetone to strip the grey paint off has revealed these!!

Do any of these make sense to anyone?

Cheers,
Chris

Its no different here in Oz… at least you guys get a chance to bid or buy the gear. Australian Govt decrees majority of it has to be destroyed. Helmets, Suits, G-suits, Gloves etc. Occasionally there is an electronics Auction but you have to be one of the favored few to even get a notice that its going to be held.
