Hi guys , hyd. selector is very similar to mossie , most likely made by same company , throttle quad is made up of two half castings with levers inside , the battle airframe manual does not lie !

Battle pics

Hi everyone , thanks to Moggy for posting pics , they show the state of play as of six months ago ,five years worth of collecting , all the bits were pulled out of storage some of which was seen at Tyabb airshow , a slab for the workshop sits on the ground where these pics were taken , should be up and running on cataloging/sorting/restoration by end of the year ( and what a long run its going to be ! )

cheers dave

P.S. Any help locating bits would be great !

Are you trying to say that a ” preservation group ” scrapped a Typhoon wreck because they did not want it !!!! I saw an old flypast article on this typhoon ( i think) What a waste. 😡

Port Pirie dump South Aust.

Hi all , have very much enjoyed this thread , i will soon put up (when i find them) pics i was given of the old dump that the ex RAAF base at Port Pirie SA many Fairey Battles were dumped there , pics were taken during 1980s showing battle engine mounts cockpit frames sections of mainspar u/c legs etc most in very poor condition due to to salt laden air (near the sea) , most of this stuff is even gone know , must be more buried.
To the member that has all the grips would you want to swap one for a battle column , have a few spare columns need a early (round firing button grip) to help restore my battle cockpit.
