Shown under
and right the MK VII c Spitfire

The Mk VII was a pressurised
fighter. It had a more advanced pressurisation system than
the Mk VI, using a sliding cockpit canopy, which was more
popular than the locked cockpit on the Mk VI. The best high
altitude version of the Mk VII was powered by the Merlin 71,
and could reach 416mph at 44,000 ft. The Mk VII remained in
production from August 1942 until early in 1944, although
only 140 aircraft were produced in that time. The Mk VII was
a little more successful than the earlier MK VI but the
“interim” Mk IX turned out to be capable of operating high
altitude itself, and the Mk VII soon lost its special status
as a high altitude fighter, although it remained in use
throughout the war. |

When Japan
entered World War II in December 1941, the RAAF did not
possess a single fighter aircraft for home defence and,
consequently, and a local fighter was produced to meet the
threatened Japanese onslaught
Named the Boomerang, the new fighter was designed as an
interceptor with a high rate of climb and good
manoeuvrability A total production of 250 aircraft between
1942 and 1945.
With the arrival of more advanced fighters , the Boomerang
was soon relegated to the army co-operation role with Nos 4
and 5 Squadrons. It was in this role that the Boomerang was
most accomplished, with a reputation for effective strikes
throughout New Guinea, the Solomon Islands, and Borneo

Spitfire IFF destruction
This is a quality
reproduction of the IFF (identification friend or foe)
destruction bracket that sits on the lower right of the Spitfire
cockpit and is used for destroying the aircraft IFF
(Identification Friend or foe) in the event of the aircraft
crashing.
The IFF identified the aircraft as friendly on the
British radar so it was important that it did not fall into
enemy hands.
On pressing the button's a small explosive
charge destroyed the IFF. There were two of these switches
and they were placed inside a protective box with big
letters DANGER on the top.

that its designed for use in a single engine fighter bomber.
Both Hurricanes and Spitfires carried bombs.
The Spitfire
had a cable release for dropping its payload. It is possible
that with its tubular construction that this was fitted to a
Hurricane.

Graviner fire
detector switch (Electrical switches (nos 67 page 2 ele)
Graviner fire detector switch. On this early type the
protruding plunger was restrained by a fusible metal
“slug” enclosed in a finned housing. When exposed to
flame/heat the fusible metal slug melted releasing the
spring loaded plunder to make the switch contacts.
Others had a small squib restraining the plunger which
exploded in a mild way when contacted by flame thus
releasing the plunger.
This has the Air Ministry Crown and

Air Ministry
Dinghy Immersion Switch(pg2 Pilot eq)
Here we
have an Immersion Switch Used to Deploy the Large Dinghies
in Heavy Bombers
It Carries
the Air Ministry Reference: 6D/148
The Lancaster dinghy had two means of
activation apart from the internal pull cord - the
First method was the external method, "from the outside by
pulling the loop on the starboard side, rear of the
tailplane leading edge", and the automatic method, "by an
immersion switch". I think most of the larger RAF aircraft
of this period had similar multiple methods of inflating and
releasing the dinghy from its stowage location, along with
safeguards to prevent it drifting away before the crewmen
could clamber into it!
Shown
Below is the Dinghy Stowage Diagram it shows the placement
of the immersion switch at the front of the Lancaster

Grumman Avenger altitude
switch (Ins pg3 Altimeter 10 )
Here we have a mint
condition altitude limit switch. This aircraft used as a
torpedo by both the RAF and USAF famously during the intense
carrier battles of the Pacific war. This instrument
assisted in attaining the correct height for torpedo drops.
The Avenger entered U.S. service in 1942, and first saw
action during the
Battle of Midway. Despite losing five of the six
Avengers on its combat debut, it survived in service to
become one of the outstanding torpedo bombers of WWII .
