Perhaps Sir Adrian may be able to assist……

If you want me to I can ask in email.

I am rebuilding his old Air Force Auster T7 WE552 back to flight that he used in HK and we often communicate, seems like a really top gentleman! He was so chuffed about her survival and rebuild he even gave me his pilots notes(with jottings) and personal photos and negs (of him with WE552 in HK) to go with the plane as she moves on through her life. I can only but ask….

And this one…Mossie is HR339. All photos are Pacific theatre. Where is this?

Hi guys

I am sorry I know this is an old thread but I am looking for this poster “Slummer” in regard to this photo. We believe this is our Mosquito at Ferrymead HR339 but would like confirmation with a higher res image. I have PM’d him but have had no response.

Can anyone help??

Regards
Anthony

Thanks guys, appreciate the information. I have 2 (both cracked through) so I went on line and looked at restoring bakelite and the people that restore jewelery suggest to rub it down (careful not to inhale the dust)with fine emery cloth and polish it back up to restore the original finish. When I did this it came back to a lovely yellow colour and polished up nicely…trouble is it is cracked through on one side and is unuseable. I guess I could look at casting a new one from resin or something, but would prefer to find originals if possible as I am going to a lot of effort to use original components.

You guys have been awesome, thanks for all your help

I have plenty of other things to work on so maybe (like the levers) in a couple of years I will stumble across some more.

Great news

Great news chaps I have managed to locate a set of these for my T7!

Now does anyone know where there is a source of these yellow knobs??

Cheers

Hi Ken

I can probably help you out there. Drop me a PM and we can chat. Let me know if there is anything else he is looking for.

Cheers

Thanks for the update Bruce! They all look great together. TA122 looks great and like she has come a long way as well…any more pics of her (and W4050 of course)?

Hi all

I am desperately seeking a set of split throttle levers for my Auster T7 rebuild…see below (yellow knobs). I just cant find any with my contacts over here in NZ.

I have seen these levers retro-fitted to several AOP-6’s but I cant locate any for my Aircraft. I would be hugely appreciative of any leads anyone has. I have other Auster 6/7 spares I can trade.

Cheers
Anthony
