Miles Master Throttle (Cont pg1 No 22)

This is a superb complete fully functional throttle box from a Miles Master seen in situ under.

In January 1939 large extensions to the Miles factory were completed and opened by the Secretary of State for Air. These were necessary to cope with a large contract for the Master I high-speed advanced training monoplane: a two-seater powered by a 536kW Rolls-Royce Kestrel 30 engine. Nine hundred were built.

Soon after the outbreak of World War II, the prototype Master II flew for the first time. It was based on the Master I but powered by a 648kW Bristol Mercury XX radial engine. Production amounted to approximately 1,800 aircraft, a number of which were sent to South Africa. Master IIs were also acquired by the air forces of Egypt, Portugal and Turkey. One Master II was used in connection with rocket experiments.

I am not 100 sure what these levers are for but they are similar to many I have seen in early pre war Bi Planes.

They function and all the cables are present and function. I may be completely wrong but until i know exactly what they are for its the best description I can give. If you know what they were for please contact me.

I do know 100% that they are aircraft as the cables are marked AGS 1817 which stands for Aircraft general Standard.

A nice control lever seen fitted to a Bristol Blenheim, probably used in other aircraft complete with cable.

 In the Blenheim it was used to release the Irvin harness

Here is what I believe from my research to be a throttle quadrant from a 1930s Hawker Bi Plane. The closest match for it that I can see is a Hawker Nimrod although its similar in design to all the throttles used by Hawker in the 1930s. Clearly it is only the throttle control and the complete throttle would have another lever controlling the mixture.

Here is a throttle from a Harvard (British version) or Texan T6 trainer.

 This throttle is in very good condition and all the levers move as they should.

This design of throttle seems to be used in a variety of US aircraft .

The Harvard (Commonwealth name shown lower left with British markings) or (North American T-6 Texan shown lower right US name) is a single-engine advanced trainer aircraft.

 It was widely used to train pilots of the United States Army Air Forces (USAAF), United States Navy, Royal Air Force and other air forces of the British Commonwealth during World War II .

Seen in situ above in a Typhoon

The Hawker Aircraft Company produced the Typhoon . Powered by a Napier Sabre 24-cylinder, liquid-cooled engine, it had a maximum speed of 412 mph (663 km) and had a range of 980 miles (1,570 km). Armed with four 20 mm cannons it could carry 2,000 lb (907 kg) of bombs. It was 31 ft 11 in (9.73 m) long with a wingspan of 41ft 7 in (12.68 m).

This is possibly a unique opportunity to purchase a substantially complete throttle box from a Hawker Typhoon.

All the levers move, there is slight damage to the case please and one of the friction knobs is missing see the pictures but it could be returned to pristine condition with some work.

BF 109 DB 601 linkage (Cont pg1 No 8)

This is a linkage probably a throttle its from a BF 109 with a DB 601 engine. The information I have is that it was removed from the wreckage of Herbert Blockberge's aircraft in  1996 which did have a DB 601 engine fitted although I cannot verify this as it is only what the seller told me. The part numbers do seem to tie in to the correct engine. This is clearly from a crashed engine but there are definitely some usable parts for a static engine at the very least. .

Shown under is a picture of the aircraft Blockenberge was flying when he was shot down and its feasible this part came from that aircraft.

For the first time Spitfire Spares is able to offer high quality reproduction throttle quadrants originals are simply not available.

Fairey Gordan Throttle (Cont pg1 No 4)

This is a really superb rare and most likely unique peace and the first Fairey Gordon peace I have owned in the twenty plus years I have been collecting.

 The build quality is amazing the levers are even fitted with cogs to ensure smooth movement and has adjustment for the magnetos.

 Although clearly well used it is in great condition and everything works as it should.

It has lots of Fairey inspection stamps.

Part number EW 46952

The frame on one side is slightly misshaped but that does not detract from this great peace of history.

The Fairey Gordon shown above was a British light 2 seat day bomber and utility aircraft.

The Gordon was a two-seater fabric-covered biplane. It was powered by 525 to 605 hp (390 to 450 kW) variants of the Armstrong Siddeley Panther IIa engine. Armament was one .303 in (7.7 mm) Lewis gun in the rear cockpit and a fixed forward-firing 0.303-in (7.7-mm) Vickers machine gun, plus 500 lb (230 kg) of bombs.

 The prototype was first flown on the March 1931, 178 new-build aircraft were made for the RAF before production switched to the Fairey Swordfish.

This is an original throttle for a Catalina flying boat in really good condition, everything works as it should and its complete.

The throttle was mounted over the head of the pilots with the levers facing downward.

 PBY was the most numerous aircraft of its kind, with around 3,300 aircraft built.

During World War II, the PBY Catalinas were used in anti-submarine warfare, patrol bombing, convoy escort, search and rescue missions (especially air-sea rescue), and cargo transport.
The type operated in nearly all operational theatres of World War II. The Catalina served with distinction and played a prominent and invaluable role in the war against the Japanese.

The Vultee A-31 Vengeance shown under was an American dive bomber of World War II, built by Vultee Aircraft. A modified version was designated A-35. The Vengeance was not used operationally by the United States, but was operated as a front-line aircraft by the British Royal Air Force, the Royal Australian Air Force, and the Indian Air Force in Southeast Asia and the Southwest Pacific.

This peace carries a HT code which is the manufacturers stamp for the Vengeance however Its quite hard to ID exactly where the peace goes as pictures of the cockpit are hard to find . Having a friction plate (Fully working ) this usually applies to the throttle and if you look at the black lever top left in the picture below it does look similar to the throttle lever.

Here we have a complete original Lancaster throttle quadrant in superb condition Avro type 683 Serial number AL6136 . In the fifteen years I have been collecting this is the only one I have ever seen. To my knowledge there are only ten or so of these left in existence world wide. All the levers are free and operate as they should.

This piece was originally recovered from a barn at Aston farm, located within the southern boundary of the former Royal Air force no 5 maintenance unit sub site at Aston Down airfield near Minchinhampton, Gloucester in the 1970's. Lancaster airframes were scrapped at this site during the post war period.

I have a letter of authenticity and a transfer of ownership from the original owner.

Lancaster Cockpit

The Mk III Manchester, BT 308, which first flew on 9 January 1941, was essentially the first Lancaster, being powered by four Merlin engines and with increased wingspan, although initially retaining the three fins and twin outboard rudders (the central fin had no movable control surface) of the Manchester I. BT308 received the "Lancaster" name immediately after its first flight.

The second prototype Lancaster DG595 featured the twin, enlarged fins and rudders of the Manchester IA. Manchester production continued until November of that year but some aircraft still in production were completed as Lancasters.

The majority of Lancasters built during the war years were manufactured by Avro at their factory at Chadderton near Oldham, Greater Manchester, and test flown from Woodford Aerodrome in Cheshire. Other Lancasters were built by Metropolitan-Vickers (1,080, also tested at Woodford), and Armstrong Whitworth. The aircraft was also produced at the Austin Motor Company works in Longbridge, Birmingham, later in the Second World War and postwar by Vickers-Armstrongs at Chester as well as at the Vickers Armstrong factory, Castle Bromwich, Birmingham.

Only 300 of the Lancaster B II fitted with Bristol Hercules engines were constructed; this was a stopgap modification caused by a shortage of Merlin engines as fighter production was of higher priority.

 Many BII's were lost after running out of fuel The Lancaster B III had Packard Merlin engines but was otherwise identical to contemporary B Is, with 3,030 B III's built, almost all at Avro's Newton Heath factory.

The B I and B III were built concurrently, and minor modifications were made to both marks as new batches were ordered.

Examples of these modifications were the relocation of the pitot head from the nose to the side of the cockpit, and the change from de Havilland "needle blade" propellers to Hamilton Standard or Nash Kelvinator made "paddle blade" propellers
