A carrier-capable version of the
Supermarine Spitfire had been proposed by the Admiralty in
May 1938. Despite a pressing need to replace various
obsolete types in the Fleet Air Arm (FAA), some opposed the
idea, including Winston Churchill, although these
disputes were often a result of the overriding priority for
land-based Spitfires instead. During 1941 and early 1942,
the Admiralty again requested naval Spitfires, resulting in
an initial batch of Seafire Mk.Ib fighters in late 1941,
which were mainly used to gain experience operating the
type. There were concerns over weak undercarriages, which
had not been strengthened to naval standards, but
performance was acceptable.
From 1942 on, further Seafire models were ordered, including
the first operationally-viable Seafire F Mk.III variant.
This led to widespread use with the FAA. In November 1942,
the first Seafire combat occurred during Operation Torch,
the Allied landings in North Africa. In July 1943, the
Seafire provided air cover for the Allied invasion of
Sicily, and again in September 1943 during the Allied
invasion of Italy. During 1944, large numbers provided air
support to ground forces during the Normandy landings and
Operation Dragoon in southern France. During the latter half
of 1944, Seafire joined the British Pacific Fleet, where it
intercepted kamikaze attacks which had become common during
the final years of the Pacific War.

480 MPH ASI 1940 (pg 2 ins Ref ASI 38)
This is an extremely rare 480 MPH Air speed indicator as
it's dated 1940. It uses the deeper early case later
versions were half as deep.
480 MPH Air Speed Indicators were not used in Spitfires until
the Mark V . In 1940 the fastest aircraft in service the
Spitfire MK II could not exceed 400 MPH and used the earlier
400 MPH ASI. The 480 MPH ASI was generally only used
in the Spitfire and Mosquito. In 1940 the Mosquito was still
in its prototype stage and the only Spitfire capable of
exceeding 400 MPH in a dive was the MK III Spitfire.
Seen below
the MK III Spitfire
The first Mk IIII N3297 was
first flown on 16 March 1940. In addition to N3297 in
early 1941 a Spitfire Mk V, W3237 was
converted to a Mk III, although it didn't have the
retractable tail wheel. W3237 replaced N3297 when
the latter was delivered to Rolls-Royce; W3237went
on to become a test aircraft and was still being used in
September 1944.
Although the new Spitfire was developed to
replace the earlier marks on the production lines, a
decision to allocate the limited supplies of Merlin XX to
the Hurricane
II series meant
that the Mark III lapsed. Priority then focused on the Mark
V series. The Mk III with the Merlin XX was capable of a
maximum speed of 400 mph (640 km/h) at 21,000 ft (6,400 m).
There were a small number of other prototype aircraft in
1940 which could possibly have used this ASI
Spitfire MK III. Mosquito. Hawker Tornado.
Speed Spitfire. Westland Whirlwind.

Sopwith Camel FI Pressure head Pito tube (pg 2 ins ASI 35A) This is a Pito head for a Sopwith Camel F1 is is
missing the clamped tubes.
The
Sopwith F.1 Camel was a single-seat fighter biplane
powered by a rotary engine (various engine types being
fitted, the most common being the 130hp Clerget).
It was
equipped with two forward-firing synchronized machine
guns mounted just ahead of the pilot’s cockpit under a
raised fairing, which is said to have inspired the name
Camel (initially used as a nickname, but subsequently
adopted as the official name of the type).
The type was highly manoeuvrable and
popular with its pilots although the combination of the
short-coupled aircraft and the rotary engine produced
some handling quirks that could catch out inexperienced
pilots. The Camel proved to be very successful in aerial
dogfights and is said to have achieved more victories in
combat than any other single type during the First World
War.

The Fairey Battle was one
of the most notorious aircraft of the WWII. During the
German invasion of France in 1940 the Battle squadrons
suffered very heavy losses during a series of desperate
attacks on the German spearhead.
The Battle was
designed to replace the Hawker Hart light bomber. In 1933
the Air Ministry wanted an aircraft that could carry two
crew and a 1,000lb bomb load for 1,000 miles at 200mph.
