Hurricane Z5053 Cannon and MG Mount (pg1 air)

This a superb peace of history from one of the most brutal conflicts of WWII.  It is a 20mm cannon and MG mount from Z5053 which was a MK IIB Hurricane  built by  Gloster Aircraft sometime between July 1940 and August 1941.

 It was then shipped to Russia via the perilous artic convoy route . The first convoy to arrive in Arkangel code-named Operation Dervish was in August 1941 and this aircraft seems to be one of the first Hurricanes to arrive just two months after the start of operation Barbarossa in June 1941. In total the Barbarossa force had about 3,000 tanks, 7,000 artillery pieces, and 2,500 aircraft. It was in effect the largest and most powerful invasion force in human history.

Hurricane Z5053 was recorded as being  shot down in Archangel in August 1942 meaning it survived for a year which is a long time in that theatre of conflict and therefore must have seen extensive action.

This Hurricane was fitted with Russian armament including a ShVAK 20mm Cannon and a 12.7mm Berezin machine gun.

 The MK IIB Hurricane was really outdated as a fighter by 1941 and was used primarily as a Fighter Bomber .

The MK IIB could also carry two 250Lbs Bombs on wing racks increasing to 500Lb by the end of 1941.  Some Russian Hurricanes had RS-82 air to air rockets installed under the wings (three per wing)

Below a Russian MK IIB Hurricane fitted with ShVAK 20mm Cannons, 12.7mm Berezin machine guns and rockets.

The Junkers Ju 88 was one of the most versatile and effective combat aircraft of World War II. Its closest counterparts on the Allied side were the Mosquito and Beaufighter. The German aircraft was larger and slower, but nevertheless very effective. 14,676 were built, including   104 prototypes for its 60 different versions.

Like the Mosquito, the Ju 88 originated as a fast bomber. In 1935 the Luftwaffe had a requirement for a  Bomber with a speed of 500km/h with 800kg of bombs. This was much faster than the biplane fighters that then equipped the German fighter units; it was even faster than the first models of the Bf 109 monoplane fighter.

Here we have a complete engine cowling from a B25 named the Bed sheet Bomber.

This complete peace is in good original condition and was removed from the B25 known as the Bedsheet Bomber. This aircraft spent the war in the US as a training aircraft after a varied career in the US she  arrived in England in 1961 where she served as the photography platform in the film “War Lovers”. In 1963 she was used again for the filming of the movie “633 Squadron”. After several owners and falling into a derelict state she is now being restored at the Wings Museum in Sussex.

There is plenty of information about this aircraft available online with its complete history.

Here is an original cowling removed from MK XVI Spitfire SM 234. approximately 720mm x 730mm

SM 234 reached 601 Squadron on the 1st November 1944 and it seems to have spent much of its short career attacking V2 mobile launch vehicles . Parts like cowlings often required small modifications to get them to fit and so when they were removed the ground crew were in the habit of marking them to ensure they went back on the correct. airframe. This piece was recovered from RAF Kenley in the 1960s.

From the positions of the fasteners shown below is the position of the cowling available just above the exhaust stubs.

Above the MK XVI Spitfire note the clipped wings as a primarily ground attack aircraft the clipped wings made it less twitchy at low altitude.

The Mk XVI was the same as the Mk IX in nearly all respects except for the engine, a Merlin 266. The Merlin 266 was the Merlin 66 and was built under licence in the USA by the Packard Motor company. The "2" was added as a prefix in order to avoid confusion with the engines, as they required different tooling. All Mk XVI aircraft produced were of the Low-Altitude Fighter (LF) variety. This was not determined by the length of the wings (clipped wings were fitted to most LF Spitfires), but by the engine, which had been optimised for low-altitude operation. All production Mk XVIs had clipped wings for low altitude work and were fitted with the rear fuselage fuel tanks with a combined capacity of 75 gal. Many XVIs featured cut-down rear fuselages with bubble canopies. On these aircraft the rear fuselage tank capacity was limited to 66 gal.

Armament for most Mk XVIs consisted of 2 × 20 mm Hispano II cannon - each with 120 rpg - and 2 × .50 calibre Browning machine guns - each with 250 rpg. 1 × 500 lb (227 kg) bomb could be carried underneath the centre rack, and 1 × 250 lb (114 kg) bomb could be slung under each wing. Some production aircraft had rear fuselage fuel tanks in addition to the main tank which allowed it to fly approximately as far as the Spitfire Mk VIII. Problems with the licence-built engines limited introduction to front-line squadrons for several months. A total of 1,054 Mk XVIs were built by Castle Bromwich

Above  and right original centre section.

Available as a result of the break up of our Hurricane project is a complete centre section including frame  cowlings and undercarriage attachments new made from steel for a static Hurricane project. It is extremely strong and was made to cope with a running Merlin. This piece is the heart of the Hurricane, the original, seen under is an extremely complicated piece made from multi sided tubing that has to be made specially manufactured at huge cost. This is a unique piece for any Static Hurricane project and something which took well over 100 hours to construct using original drawings. The complicated original construction was replaced with tubular and box section steel and is very close in appearance to the original. The dimensions are as original. The cowlings shown are included. This will have to be collected or we can deliver for a cost of £1 per mile in the UK. To ship oversees will be expensive and I would suggest you get a shipping quote before purchase. I would estimate its weight at around 250 to 350 Kgs.

Here we have a wheel door from a BF 110 it still has its ID plate attached see left, I stand to be corrected but I believe with German parts it is often possible to identify the specific aircraft from the plate please contact me if you have any further information on this.

The Messerschmitt Bf 110, often called the Me 110, was a twin-engine heavy fighter (Zerstörer – German for "Destroyer") in the service of the Luftwaffe during WWII. Goring was a proponent of the Bf 110, and nicknamed it his Eisenseiten ("Ironsides").Development work on an improved type to replace the Bf 110, the ME 210 began before the war started, but its teething troubles resulted in the Bf 110 soldiering on until the end of the war in various roles, alongside its replacements, the Me 210 and the ME 410.

This piece is huge measuring 2.3 metres by 0.850 metre please contact me for a shipping quote.

The new aircraft was two feet longer than the Hs 122. The basic parasol wing layout was retained, but a new more angular wing was developed. A cantilever undercarriage was used, allowing each wheel to be supported by a single streamline strut in place of the two struts of the Hs 122. The front half of the cockpit, containing the pilot, was enclosed, while the observer/ gunner's section remained open. It was to be powered by the Bramo 323 Fafnir radial engine.

 It was said to be easy to fly with good handling, highly manoeuvrable and responsive. It was without a doubt, the finest German bomber to see extensive service throughout the war.

This is an original outer main plane wing tip from a rare MK VII Spitfire. The Mk VII was designed as a high altitude Fighter and used the “c” type universal wings, capable of carrying either eight machine guns, four cannon or two cannon and four machine guns depending on the situation, but with the extended wing tips used on the Mk VI.

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.

This is the Elevator for P-47 Thunderbolt  42-7935 WZ-I. We purchased this from aviation archaeologists from out latest trip to Arnhem

 It still has the hinge and the point at where it would be connected to the controls system. It also has a Plate Identifying it as a P-47D

Elevators are flight control surfaces, usually at the rear of an aircraft, which control the aircraft's longitudinal attitude by changing the pitch balance, and so also the angle of attack and the lift of the wing. The elevators are usually hinged to a fixed or adjustable rear surface, making as a whole a tail plane or horizontal stabilizer

P-47 42-7935 at Duxford May 1943

P-47 42-7935 was flown by Lt James F Byers of 430 Fighter Squadron.

It Crashed on the 30th July 1943 after a Collision with Lt. Col Melvin F McNickle in P-47 42-7961 WZ-M during a bomber escort mission

The Collision happened when Lt. Col McNickle passed out due to a failures in his oxygen equipment. He Collided with Lt. Byers at 28000 ft over Winterswijk in Holland

Lt. Buyers bailed out the Aircraft but his parachute refused to open. He is now buried at Neuville en Condroz at the American Ardennes Cemetery

This is the Aileron for a P-47 Thunderbolt that was recovered by Aviation archaeologists and Purchased on our latest trip to Arnhem.

 It is a Large Piece in Crashed Condition and still has Part of the Trim Tabs Attached

P-47 Thunderbolt

An aileron is a hinged flight control surface usually attached to the trailing edge of each wing of a fixed-wing aircraft. Ailerons are used in pairs to control the aircraft in roll, which results in a the plane banking

Trim tabs are small movable sections resembling scaled down ailerons located at or near the trailing edge of the aileron. On most propeller powered aircraft, the rotation of the propeller induces a counteracting roll movement due to Newton's third law of motion, in that every action has an equal and opposite reaction. To relieve the pilot of having to provide continuous pressure on the stick in one direction (which causes fatigue) trim tabs are provided to adjust or trim out the pressure needed against any unwanted movement. The tab itself is deflected in relation to the aileron, causing the aileron to move in the opposite direction

 FM159 is one of the 7374 Avro Lancaster bomber aircraft  produced during WWII. This Lancaster was produced by Victory Aircraft Ltd in Malton, Ontario in 1945 and made it to England too late to serve in the war.  It was flown back to Canada where it served in reconnaissance missions through the Canadian North for several years, until being decommissioned from service when it was bought to serve as a war memorial in Nanton, Alberta.

Today the FM159 is the feature plane at the Nanton Bomber Command Museum.
