JU 88 control crank (Pg1 Relics)
Here is a control crank from a
JU 88 its from the tail or to control the elevator, its
obviously from a crash but we have no idea of the identity of
the aircraft still a nice rare peace.
Shown above the JU 88.
The JU88 Was one of the most versatile German aircraft of the
war.
It was first designed in
1936 and amazingly flew later that year as a fast daylight
bomber it was soon shown to have excellent performance and was
used in multiple roles throughout the war.

Gyropilot Oil Pressure Regulator (Cont pg6 No 28)
Here we have a Gyropilot Oil
Pressure Regulator from a Sperry Autopilot System
Part Number 644256
Sperry Gyroscope Company
Vickers Inc
Sperry Autopilot Systems were fitted
to The B-17 Flying Fortress as well as other USAAF and RAF
Aircraft
The Sperry Corporation developed the original gyroscopic
autopilot in 1912. The device was called a “gyroscopic
stabilizer apparatus,” and its purpose was to improve stability
and control of aircraft. It utilized the inputs from several
other instruments to allow an aircraft to automatically maintain
a desired compass heading and altitude.
The key feature of the gyroscopic stabilizer apparatus was that
it incorporated a gyroscope to regulate the control surfaces of
the aircraft. Lawrence Sperry managed to design a smaller and
lighter version of a gyroscope, and the device was integrated
into an aircraft's hydraulic control system. Using a negative
feedback loop, the gyroscope automatically adjusted the control
surfaces of an aircraft to maintain straight and level flight.

Australia Constant Speed Control Unit (Cont pg6 No 25)
Here we have
a Constant Speed Control Unit
This was
Manufactured By DeHavilland Australia
Model:
4G8ADH38
Set to 400
PSI
An aircraft
propeller operates as the source of thrust that moves the plane
forward.
When an aircraft is
stationary with the propeller spinning (in calm air), air flows
past the narrow leading edge of the propeller. This is the most
efficient configuration as the drag forces on the propeller are
the lowest. As the airplane starts moving forward, the airflow
begins to push against the front, wider cross section of the
propeller, creating greater drag.
A constant-speed
propeller is able to rotate along the longest axis of the blade
to take a sharper bite of air with respect to the airplane,
allowing the propeller to maintain the most efficient
orientation to the airflow around it. This balances the trade
off that fixed-pitch propellers must make between high take-off
performance and high cruise
performance.
A
constant-speed unit (CSU) or propeller governor is the device
fitted to one of these propellers to automatically change its
pitch so as to attempt to keep engine speed constant.

Short Sunderland Motor control (Cont pg6 No 24)

carries the Sunderland part numbers although I am not 100% sure
of its actual function the Sunderland carried an auxiliary motor
which operated pumps to clear the bilges, as a flying boat as
with all boats it leaked and so it was essential the bilges were
clear before flying.
A nice collectable piece specific to the
Sunderland.

Repro Flap Valve for Spitfire panel (Cont

These reproduction flap
levers have been a long time coming. They are a vast
improvement over the cast alloy ones we had previously.
They are perfect copies of
the visible section of the flap valve and are completely
machined from steel by hand.
They contain a piston and a
spring so that they snap crisply up and down as in the
original. I am confident there is not another reproduction
of this quality currently being produced.
They have a nice heavy feel
to them and will complete your Spitfire panel to the highest
standard.

Harness Release (Cont
pg6 No 18)
This is a nice little harness
release and cable from a so far unidentified aircraft. It
came with a collection of Beaufighter instruments so
it may be Beaufighter but not sure.
contact me if you have
any further information. The Spitfire had a very
similar lever for releasing the pilots harness in an
emergency bail out situation.
Part numbers C or possibly G 59010dX2
A literal "jack of all
trades", the Beaufighter served as a ground attack fighter,
a night fighter, a torpedo bomber and an anti-shipping
strike aircraft. It served in Europe, the Middle East and
the Far East Theatres. It's heavy armament (the MK.VI
carried six wing-mounted .303 calibre machine guns and four
fuselage mounted 20mm cannons as well as eight 90lb. rockets
under the wing) and long range made it a devastating weapon
wherever and however it was deployed. The Italians called it
"il flagello di Dio", which meant the "Scourge of God" and
the Japanese referred to it as the "Whispering Death". It
obviously had a profound impact on it's opponents

Halifax Mk.1
Click on the

In 1938 English
Electric became a 'shadow' aircraft manufacturer, able to
build other companies designs for the war effort. Preston
was chosen as the aircraft factory and an airfield at
Samlesbury was built. 80 aircraft a month were built at the
peak during 1944.
During the war production was spread
across other sites in Preston to protect it in case of
attack. It appears the Germans weren't aware of what the
factory built.
A successful run of
5000 Hampden, Halifax and Vampires led to the design of the
Canberra and Lightning

During World War II, the Bristol Bristol Beaufighter played
a significant role in the Battle of Britain, protecting the
skies over the south of England. Flying
at night, all-black painted Bristol Bristol Beaufighters
acted as Night Interceptors.
In the hands of skilled pilots such as Grp Captain John
‘Cats-Eyes’ Cunningham. Cunningham's nickname 'Cats Eyes'
originated from him being credited with the highest number
of ‘Night Kills’ in his Bristol Bristol Beaufighter and
alike.
In
reality however, it was later revealed that his success
was due to the Bristol Bristol Beaufighter’s secret AI
Radar, rather than his exceptional night-vision.
The Beaufighter was used in may roles including a torpedo
Bomber it was used in many theatres of operation and was
feared by its enemies as it was relatively quiet and very
heavily armed the Japanese named it "Whispering death"

Arnhem Dakota C 47 nos 42-100896 gear unit (Cont
pg6 No 6)
This is superb piece of
history of the bridge to far, purchased on our trip to
Arnhem
from an aviation archaeologist who recovered it from the
crash site . It appears to be be part of
a trim unit.
It belonged
C-47,
42-100896 of the 314th
Troop carrier group. On 18th September 1944 C-47 42-100896
was hit by FLAK from the Grebbeberg and caught fire. The
aircraft was on it’s way to drop zone Y with 19 paratroopers
of C Company, 11 Battalion. It crashed between the Rijnsteeg
and the Slagsteeg near Wageningen. 13 of those on board
bailed out in time.
This
was the third ship lost by the 314th. 314th Troop Carrier
Group was one of the 62nd Troop Carrier Squadron.
The crew was:
Pilot - 1st Lt Frederick N Hale Jr Copilot - 2nd Lt Thaddeus
C Harvey Radio Operator - S/Sgt Clarence V Parson Crew Chief
- T/Sgt Milfred L Harold
USAAF 314 TCG - 62 TCS.C-47 42-100896, Base Saltby. It is
assumed that the aircraft was not just shot down by Flak,
but also by men of a Wehrmacht unit who used infantry
weapons. The plane crashed in a meadow west of the Rijnsteeg
near Mr. Vermeer's farm, Wageningen , at 14.15h. The crew
members who perished, were first buried in the local General
Cemetery on 20 September 1944. They were reinterred in the
Ardennes American Cemetery at Neuville-en-Condroz, Belgium,
on 21 March 1946.
The soldiers they were carrying were
from the 11th Battalion, Parachute Regiment of whom seven
were also killed

Shown
under the area of the crash site.
The 11th Parachute Battalion was an airborne
infantry battalion of the parachute regiment,
raised by the British army during WWII
The battalion formed
in the Middle East was assigned to the 4th
parachute brigade, 1st airborne division. As it
was still training it was left behind when the
rest of the brigade took part in the Allied
invasion of Italy. One company later parachuted
onto the island of Kos taking prisoner the large
Italian garrison. The battalion rejoined the
rest of the division in England. The only battle
in which the battalion participated was the
Battle of Arnhem in September 1944. The
battalion sustained heavy casualties and was
disbanded following the battle.

for the camera on PRU Spitfires and other aircraft used for

they were fast.
They used their speed and height to avoid
being engaged in combat and could outrun any armed
fighter.
This control was mounted
on the main Spitfire instrument panel.
This one comes in its
original box. It is 12 volt so almost certainly from a
Spitfire as the other main aircraft used in this role was a
Mosquito which used 12 volts.

Here is a Vertical gyro mount
component of the A-5 Automatic Pilot.
The A-5's faster
stabilization of the aircraft made it possible for new
bombsights to be used on military aircraft during WWII. When
integrated with the bombsight, the A-5 would be engaged to
fly the aircraft straight and level to the target set by the
bombardier, while the bombsight calculated the release point
of the bombs.
It was the first
all-electronic autopilot, designed by the Instrumentation
Laboratory and manufactured by Sperry.
This was used with both
the Norden and Sperry Bombsights.
Used in the B17, B24 and
other heavy US Bombers.
