Spitfire
Undercarriage indicator
(Page16 Undercarriage indicators 1)
This Spitfire undercarriage indicator
is in fact a reproduction. It is accurate in all respects
and fully functional including the pull down blind which has
over 20 individual parts. This we believe is the only
working reproduction currently being produced world wide.
It is an extremely complicated piece to reproduce and that
is reflected in the price however for a piece that is
identical to the original it offers extremely good
value.

Beaufighter/Blenheim Undercarriage
indicators (Page16 Undercarriage indicators 2)
Undercarriage indicator's made
by the Bristol aircraft company. These were definitely
fitted in Beaufighters and the Blenheim and may have been
fitted in other aircraft made by Bristol with retracting
undercarraige..
The Bristol Beaufighter
was a remarkable aircraft. Great strength and power, good
speed at low elevations and a most formidable and flexible
armament. Its premier role was as a
night fighter it was also intended from concept to be
a long-range fighter. It developed into an anti shipping and
ground attack cannon and
rocket-firing fighter, torpedo plane and tactical bomber.
Its versatility and heavy armament feared by the enemy. The Japanese called this
aircraft Whispering death.

gauge is extremely rare and much harder to find than

vertical green lenses was only use in Hurricanes.

Lancaster undercarriage indicator (Page16
Undercarriage indicators 5)
This is an original Lancaster undercarriage indicator in superb
condition and was fitted to the main instrument panel. This
model also appears to be fitted to later Hurricanes being
very similar in design the green lenses are slightly off the
vertical. To my Knowledge it was used exclusively in
these two aircraft.

Fleet Air Arm
undercarriage indicator (Page16 Undercarriage
indicators 6)
This is an extremely rare
undercarriage indicator for a deck carrier operated aircraft
in fact the only one I have seen. This can be established
by the deck hook retract light. The Airminstry crown
identifies this as a pre 1944 piece. The only aircraft I am
aware of that used this type of U/C indicator and operated as
carrier cased aircraft at this time were the Sea Hurricane,
Barracuda and possibly the Fairey Firefly. Although Seafires
and other aircraft operated from carriers they did not have
this type of indicator.

major role demanded of it shown under in its guise as a

Mosquito Undercarriage indicator
(Page16 Undercarriage indicators 8)
This is an undercarriage
indicator for the Mosquito, this instrument is
specific to the Mosquito.
Rare in its own right it functions as it
should, it has the additional benefit of being
dated 1942 and is an early
metal version being fitted to the very first operational MKs
of the Mosquito.
A little known fact is that the Mosquito
could carry a 4000Lb Bomb the same payload as the Boeing
B17.
Herman Goring
head of the Luftwaffe was a fan of the Mosquito and had this
to say about it.
"In 1940 I
could at least fly as far as Glasgow in most of my aircraft,
but not now! It makes me furious when I see the Mosquito. I
turn green and yellow with envy.
The British, who
can afford aluminum better than we can, knock together a
beautiful wooden aircraft that every piano factory over
there is building, and they give it a speed which they have
now increased yet again.
What do you make of that?
There is nothing the British do not have. They have the
geniuses and we have the nincompoops.
After the war is over
I'm going to buy a British radio set - then at least I'll
own something that has always worked."

Spitfire reproduction undercarriage

Superb reproduction undercarriage indicator for the
Spitfire. These are a great alternative for the rare and expensive originals.
The blinds do not work as this is extremely complicated to replicate but they
look superb and once mounted in a panel are hard to tell apart. We are working
on an improved version with bulb holders to be announced.
