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MK IIB Hurricane was really outdated as a fighter by 1941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.

DH Hercules hatch (Pg1 Air)
This is an
incredibly rare peace and possibly unique from a De
Havilland Type 66 aircraft which is a DH Hercules.
This aircraft
was the real pioneer of the modern long distance airlines.
Click on the pictures to enlarge
The Hercules was
designed for Imperial
Airways when
it took over the Cairo–Baghdad
air route from
the Royal Air Force.
The Hercules was a
three-engine two-bay biplane with room for seven passengers
and the ability to carry mail. Using three engines reduced
the risk of forced landings over remote desert areas.
To reduce the risk of
deterioration in tropical areas the fuselage was a tube
steel frame, with the cabin and rear baggage compartment of
plywood mounted inside it. The two pilots were in an open
cockpit above the nose while the cabin had room for a
wireless operator and seven passengers.
The South
African Air Force bought three Hercules from Imperial
Airways in 1935.
At the
start of the Second World War they were used as military
transport aircraft supporting South African forces around
Africa. One was broken up for spares in 1939 and the other
two were withdrawn from service and scrapped in 1943.
Two former West Australian Airways aircraft, the City of
Perth and the City of Adelaide were operated on the ferry
service in New Guinea between Lae and Wau from 1936.
The City of Perth crashed in February 1941 and the City of
Adelaide was destroyed by enemy action in 1942.
West Australian Airways ordered four Hercules aircraft for a
new passenger and mail service between Perth and Adelaide.
Following
acceptance testing in England the four aircraft were shipped
to Perth, Australia and re-assembled.
The first
eastbound service was flown by two aircraft, the City of
Adelaide and the City of Perth. They arrived in Perth on 29
May 1929 after flying the 1450 miles in 14 hours.
Two
aircraft were later sold to Imperial Airways and the
remaining two were sold to Stephens Aviation when the
airline was taken over by Australian Airlines.

Original Spitfire nose cowling from Spitfire SM 234 MK XVI * (pg1 air)
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.
Because of a slightly taller
intercooler and rearranged accessories on the Packard
Merlins a new, bulged upper cowling was introduced and also
appeared on late production IXs.
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

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

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. |

HS 126 Luftwaffe recon aircraft tail plane (pg1 air)
This is
superb and extremely rare piece a complete tail plane from a
HS 126 this piece is in remarkable condition and was
recovered from Russia. It has different coloured camouflage
paint still surviving suggesting that it served in several
campaigns before its demise in Russia.
The Henschel Hs 126 was the
Luftwaffe's main short range reconnaissance aircraft in the
early years of the WWII, taking part in the invasion of
Poland, the campaign in the west in 1940 and the first year
of the invasion of the Soviet Union.
The Hs 126 was an all-metal
stressed-skin parasol wing monoplane, with a fixed
undercarriage. The wing was supported by four main struts,
two to each side, with extra bracing between the fuselage
and the centre of the wing. The main wheels were mounted on
single struts, with internal bracing (cantilevered),
attached at ninety degrees to the fuselage. The level
angular wing was slightly swept back, with straight edges,
and a V-shaped notch at the centre of the trailing edge,
above the pilot's cockpit. The cockpit was semi-enclosed,
with the pilot under glass but the observer in an open
position.
The HS 122 appeared in 1935. It was
similar in appearance to the Hs 126, but its performance was
disappointing. Henschel were asked to redesign the aircraft
to use the new BMW Bramo Fafnir 323 radial engine. A team
led by Henschel's chief designer, Dipl Ing Freidrich
Nicolaus, took the opportunity to redesign most elements of
the aircraft, to produce the Hs 126.
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. |

in some aspects, the B25.
In any event, approximately 15,000
aircraft were produced in various forms from 1939 to 1945.
An astonishing 104 prototypes and dozens of variant were
built, with more than 9,000 produced as bombers. It had
flexibility and was the most modifiable aircraft during the
war. 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. |

Original MK VII Spitfire Wing tip (pg1 air)
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.

Vickers Wellington tail fairing (pg1 air)
This a substantial piece
of the famous Vickers Wellington design by the iconic
British engineer Barnes Wallis responsible for the
Dambusting bouncing Bomb.
This piece came from the
Wellington that crashed at Great Whernside.
Wellington
DV718 on Riggs Moor, Great Whernside.
On the night of 2nd/3rd September 1942 the crew of
this Wellington was tasked with a night cross-country
training exercise along with other aircraft from the same
training unit. They took off and flew north but bad weather
was effecting the Yorkshire Dales area on this night and
this aircraft was to fly into it. The crew undoubtedly were
having trouble with visibility flying through heavy rain and
in the low cloud they became lost. The aircraft then
descended over high ground, presumably so the crew could try
and ascertain their position. The aircraft struck the ground
between Nidderdale and Wharfedale on an area of high ground
known as Blake Hill, on Riggs Moor, to the west of
Kettlewell. The large fire after the impact destroyed much
of the fuselage section but one airman managed to escape and
get clear. He was found the next day and taken to Harrogate
General Hospital and after treatment at a hospital in
Preston he made a recovery. His four crew mates were not so
lucky, they were all killed.
This accident is one of a few in the Yorkshire Dales
which has been covered in a number of books in the last few
years, I do not plan on copying these works.

P-47 Thunderbolt Elevator
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

P-47 Thunderbolt Aileron (pg 3 relic nos 29)
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

wartime camouflage
Here are some original marine marker flair storage holders
from
the Bazalgette Lancaster.

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.
