Here we have an interesting piece. The switch is generally used as a bomb release switch.

This particular one is mounted on a Perspex panel with brackets to mount to a tube. So far I have been unable to identify its application but would make an educated guess 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.

This is a blank as new old stock. These switch covers are used to protect the push button switches used in practically every kind of Wartime RAF aircraft, from Spitfire starter buttons to fire ex on Lancs. These being blank can be engraved or transfers applied to suit your purpose. We have multiples available.

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

Here we have an Immersion Switch Used to Deploy the Large Dinghies in Heavy Bombers

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

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.

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 .

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.
