Here is a trim lever from a Gipsy Moth .

The de Havilland Moths were a series of light aircraft, sports planes and military trainers designed by Geoffrey de Havilland. In the late 1920s and 1930s they were the most common civil aircraft flying in Britain and during that time every light aircraft flying in the UK was commonly referred to as a ‘Moth’, regardless if it was de Havilland-built or not.

The first Moth was the DH.60 – a straight-winged two-seater bi-plane. To enable storing the plane in small spaces, the DH.60’s wings could fold backwards against the fuselage, “Like a moth” remarked Geoffrey de Havilland, an avid lepidopterist and so the plane was nicknamed Moth from the drawing board on. The Moth was also one of the first light aircraft to be mass-produced and was available to a much wider section of the general public than previous aircraft designs.

First variations of the name began with changes in the engine used for the DH.60. Early variants included the Hermes Moth, Genet Moth and Gipsy Moth (which Amy Johnson flew to Australia). As the DH.60 became more and more popular, de Havilland decided to cash in on the fame of the original by giving each of his new designs a name ending with Moth.

A Halifax returns to base after a long and dangerous mission. Can there have been a more intense feeling of relief for the crew as at this moment  they come safely into land over their own base

Handley page Halifax D.F Loop Aerial Wheel (Cont pg4 No 6)

A really nice and extremely rare wheel for a remote D.F. loop drive (aerial). Would be located in the Wireless Ops position, of the Halifax. A/M crown so manufactured before 1944.

This has the Air Ministry Ref: 10J/10595

The second of Britain's four-engine bombers to enter frontline service, Handley Page's Halifax has forever lived in the shadow of Avro's superb Lancaster. However, it was a Halifax which became the first RAF 'heavy' to drop bombs on Germany when No.35 Squadron raided Hamburg on the night of 12th/13th March 1941. Between 1941-45, the Halifax completed some 75,532 sorties (compared with the Lancaster's 156,000) with Bomber Command alone, not to mention its sterling work as both a glider tug and paratroop carrier with the Airborne Forces, maritime patrol mount with Coastal Command and covert intruder with the SOE. The Halifax was also the only RAF four-engine bomber to see action in the Middle East. Built in six major variants (and numerous sub-series within these variants) which differed primarily in the type of engine employed, no fewer than 6176 Halifax's were completed for the RAF between October 1939 and November 1946

This is a stunning peace and super rare find in fact the first one I have seen in 20 years this is a rudder trim control from a Bristol Beaufighter. It is unfortunately seized but could probably be made functional with a little work.

The Beaufighter was one of the most impressive RAF aircraft of the war it served as a night fighter during the Battle of Britain and held the record for the highest number of night time Kills most notably in the hands of Cats eyes Cunningham. He was attributed with exceptional eyesight but was in fact aided by the secret radar the aircraft carried.

 One of the most heavily armed fighters it was feared by the Japanese and known as the whispering death due to its relatively quiet engines.

 it served in many air forces including the USAF and RAAF in many roles including as a torpedo bomber. The Beaufighter remained in service until 1960 and was probably Bristols most successful aircraft of the war.
