Hi

I came across this thread whilst searching something else and forgot to get back as shortly after purchasing these relics the seller came across the identity that had been misplaced yes it was KM Carver, so the suggestion earlier in the thread was correct.

Hi all

I take a look at the forum from time to time obviously not as often as before, but I have noticed over the last month or so there has been a little more activity, I’ve tried posting over the last couple of years but with little response, let’s hope that it can pick up slowly as time goes on, I’ve certainly missed a few of the former threads.

Please keep posting as I’ve enjoyed some of the recent threads.

Some fantastic images there Powerandpassion Farlamairframes.

It always amazes me with so much engineering and attention to detail (colored piping etc) that these were just intended to be blown up at the end of there journey, mind boggling.

Hi Feroxeng

Sorry that i m unable to help with this post as far as information on the piston itself, but if you are on facebook and type into the search memory for “factory stamps” im pretty certain that you will get a better response.

Sadly this forum is declining by the day and many of its former members have moved on.

I hope you can resolve the identity of the piston within the near future.

I have to second A.Ms desription of the aerojumble, a very well organised event, along with loads of stalls to choose from and a good selection of items for sale.

I have to say i,ve missed these events over the last year plus, its great to be able to rummage once again and above all catch up with a few good friends along the way. it made the 5 a.m. start all the more worthwhile, along with the added bonus of finding myself a little gem at a very affordable price.

Looking forward to the next event, once again well done to Newark.

Just looking into this a little further via the net, it appears that the later canopy has a jettison sliding type mechanism to the front of the canopy just above the escape perspex panel, i guess this would be a later mark, so would the earlier for example the Mk1 not have this mechanism? thus the canopy jettison (lever) would be within the cockpit itself, i hope that this makes some kind of sense.

Thank you for your reply Trolley Aux, i have to say that they do look pretty much the same across the variants, interesting in regards to the jettison/release section of the canopy, would anyone have any images of this part of the canopy? ive seen them on the Spitfire but as yet not on the Hurricane, would this have anything to do with the escape panel (perspex) at the front of the canopy itself?

A great watch, that shows the dedication that these guys put into there projects, so looking forward to part 2 next week.

The only mistake that they made was in regards to the Prototype Spitfire K5054, when Spitfire Pilot Anna Walker was shown what was said to be the only surviving part of K5054 this being a hammer head made out of a wing bolt from the original Spitfire, in actual fact there are two known surviving pieces of the original K5054 and this is now at the “Kent Battle of Britain museum” at Hawkinge, the second piece being one of the two main wheels and tyres.
