Here is an original Spitfire only undercarriage indicator it is in good condition and appears to but unused.

The lens have no warping and are completely flat . The blind works as it should. The only downside to this peace is it is missing the wire's that sit behind the lens to conduct away the heat of the bulbs.

Comes complete in its original box.

Here is a reproduction Spitfire undercarriage indicator.

The one is the fully finished version which is wired and includes bulbs

 It is exactly to scale and follows the original design as closely as we are able to produce one at a reasonable price.

  The bulb holders are an exact copy and will be supplied unfixed and removable to make it easier to wire them for lights if required.

 We have replicated the copper wires which  conduct away the heat of the bulbs.

That being said It should not be left unattended as even the originals have a tendency to melt the lens.

 Unlike some of the other copies I have seen this is robust and will not break the first time you pick it up.

The only thing which does not work is the pull down blind , getting this to work may be an option in the future but would almost certainly dramatically increase production costs.

 The locking bolt and knob are made of steel , the knob is not an exact copy but is close and the bolt locates into a brass insert as per the original design. These are constructed from many parts and take hours to put together.

They are supplied with approximately one metre of wire and will required a 12 volt supply as per the original.

These can be supplied as kits with or without bulbs and wiring as a discounted price but will require several hours work to put together if you are interested in buying the kit please contact me.

You can see the indicator in situ in a Beaufighter middle left on the picture shown under .

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.

£175 each

Note the lower green lenses are set vertically.

 Original Hurricane undercarriage indicator in good condition fitted to early Hurricanes. This gauge is extremely rare and much harder to find than original Spitfire indicators. Seen below in situ top left of the instrument panel. This round style of U/C indicator is used in a great many aircraft types but the face with the vertical green lenses was only use in Hurricanes.

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.

Here is a an U/C indicator for an aircraft with a retracting tail wheel as denoted by the light at the bottom of the indicator marked with a T for tail. Used in the Hawker Typhoon and Tempest.

The Mosquito took on every major role demanded of it shown under in its guise as a night fighter.

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.

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."

This is an original Lancaster undercarriage indicator it 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.
