MK I Vickers
Wellington front Turret seat Barnes Wallis seat 1A (pg1
Seat)
This seat is unique it was
designed by Barnes Wallis for the front gunner in the
Wellington MK I and is the only known surviving example.
It was only fitted to the
Wellington MK I and was replaced in the MK IA
with Frazer-Nash two gun turrets FN5
nose, FN10 tail and FN9 ventral explaining why it is so
rare.
Its
identity has been confirmed by the RAF Museum.
   
Click on the

It came with three peaces
of Perspex and these are believed to belong to the original
Barnes Wallis designed MK I Wellington and will be included
in the sale.
One of the larger peaces
of Perspex was cracked but has been rejoined. As you
can see from the drawing under it is a relatively simple
design and would make a great project to build in its
original configuration.

Bofors Anti Aircraft sighting ring
2 (Pg 3 Gun) This
one has a slightly different fitting at the bottom of the
sight.
This is an original sight
ring for a Bofors antiaircraft gun.
The ring
is 9 1/2" in diameter.
The Bofors anti aircraft
gun was adopted by the British Army in 1937 as its standard
light AA weapon in a single-barrelled, air-cooled version.
It was a great success and demand exceeded production until
1943.
The quality of the gun was
such that the Royal Navy also started fitting it to ships in
1941, before adopting a purpose-designed twin-barrelled
water-cooled version, first used in late 1942 |

B17 B24 Ball
turret position indicator (pg1 instruments)
This is a mechanical Ball
Turret Position Azimuth
Position Indicator, Sperry
part number 11585, used in
the Sperry ball turret in
WWII-era heavy bombers such
as the B-17 Flying Fortress
and B-24 Liberator.
Mounted within the ball
turret at the right foot of
the ball turret gunner, it
was connected to a rotating
mechanical control cable.
The round turret silhouette
in the centre of the dial
rotated as the turret
rotated relative to the
forward direction of the
aircraft.
Thus, should the ball
turret gunner hear "bandit
at 4 o'clock low", he would
know to rotate the turret to
that position on the dial in
order to greet the incoming
foe with 50 cal MG's.
The field of view of the
ball turret gunner was
actually quite poor and it
wasn't difficult for the
gunner to lose orientation
with respect to the
direction of the aircraft.
The dial measures 2.25
inches across and is ~1.25
inches deep.

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 in Russia 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.
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)

Mk XIV
Lancaster Bomber Computer
(No 60 pg1 Arm)
This is stunning British made bomb
computer. It is complete and in good original condition.
Above the
computer can be seen in situ in the bomb aimers position of
the Lancaster.
The
Mark XIV Computing Bomb Sight was
a vector bombsight developed and used by the RAF’s Bomber
Command during WW2.
The bombsight was also known as the
Blackett Sight
after its primary inventor,
Patrick M S Blackett
a Nobel Physics Prize Winner. Prof. Blackett
volunteered to design a new sight to meet the needs of
Bomber Command.
He was given facilities at
Farnborough
and the services of a small team of engineers.
The bomb sight that resulted was the Mk XlV regarded then
as the wonder sight of the day.
It was designed to enable the run up to the target flying
straight and level to be restricted to a mere 10 seconds and
enable the pilot to carry out evasive manoeuvres on his
approach to the target.
It could be used to bomb both on the climb and the glide.
The bomb sight consisted of a computer cabinet mounted to
the left of the Air Bomber and a stabilised sighting head
with optical graticule.
The sight was one of the first practical uses for a
mechanical computer.

P40 Bomb release (pg2 Arm)
This is a really nice bomb
release mechanism from a P40 . In good original condition
all the levers move as they should. Will be supplied with a
booklet showing its installation and use.
The prototype for the P-40
series was flown in 1938. The P-40 Warhawk was the first
single-seat American fighter to be produced on a large
scale. At the onset of the hostilities, almost half of the
USAAF airplanes were P-40s.
Slower and less
manoeuvrable than the majority of the other fighters of its
time, the Warhawk, the Curtis P-40 Warhawk nonetheless was a
very tough and dependable aircraft. and one of the most
beautiful looking fighters of WWII often painted with the
classic shark tooth look. Improvements continually made it a
better airplane, and it was used throughout the war.
Production of all P-40s totalled 16,802 planes.

Spitfire .303
ammunition box (pg1 Arm)
This is a really nice and very
rare piece its the first one I have seen. Covered in
Spitfire part numbers and inspectors stamps, its in good
general condition the hinge needs attention but the lid
opens easily and the spring loaded locks work. These boxes
were removable but once loaded were located in the wings to
supply .303 bullets to the Guns. This was made specifically
for the Spitfire. This peace has the VACB inspection stamps
meaning made in Vickers Armstrong Castle Bromwich.
300= MK I Spitfire
62 = Armament
Although listed as a MK I part number if the design of the part did
not change it kept the original 300 part number This
piece came from an airfield in France set up in 1944 so most
probably from a later MK of Spitfire aircraft .
At the end of August 1944, the Americans and the English set
up an aerodrome on the VAUMEILH village plateau 10 km north
of SISTERON in the lower Alps, now the Alpes de Haute
Provence. It serves as a base and refuelling point for
British and American aircraft, the base was active until the
end of 1945. The piece was found along with a jettison tank
and this box with ammunition English for Spitfire, on the
farm of Mr AYASSE at the place called "Les TONINS". located
next to the aerodrome. The jettison tank is in a museum.

Click on the

The Course Setting Bomb
Sight was developed by Harry
Wimperis during the years
preceding the opening of
WWII.
The invention solved many
issues associated with the
aircraft-bomb-dropping
problem, including
accounting for the
aircraft's speed, altitude,
wind-drift, weight of the
bomb, etc. It is quite a
complicated, manual device
for the age, It was
typically used while the
bomb-aimer is exposed to
open air from the bottom of
the aircraft while in flight
or from the glass nose of
the aircraft.
It was used in a number of
different RAF bombers during
the early part of the war
(e.g., Fairey Battle,
Bristol Blenheim),
eventually giving way to
semi-automatic computing
bomb sights such as the
Sperry S-1, especially for
heavy bombers such as
Lancasters.
Seen above the Fairey Battle
During its
development prior to the opening of WWII the
CSBS added several new features. A simple
modification found on pre-war models was the
Auxiliary Drift Bar attachment. This
consisted of a single drift wire in a
C-shaped clamp that could be moved along the
main drift wires, and rotated in relation to
them.
Previously, the bomb aimer would use the
main drift bar as a tool to measure wind
speed, but it was found that the bomb aimers
would forget to reset it to the proper angle
for bombing when things got busy. These same
measurements could be made with the
Auxiliary Bar, leaving the main drift bar in
the proper position.
Later versions used by
RAF Coastal command and the RN also included
a further adjustment, the Fourth Vector,
for attacking moving targets.
This was primarily
intended for use against ships and
submarines..
This was a fairly
complex system of rotating rings and sliders
that allowed the bomb aimer to dial in the
relative course of the target and its
estimated speed. This moved the back sight
directly fore and aft, and turning the
heading dial adjusted how much the speed
dial moved the backsight.As the resulting
mechanism was fairly large and complex, the
sights were also available with the Fourth
Vector removed, denoted with a *,
as in the Mk. IX A*

RAF MK III Low
Level Bombsite (pg1 arm)
The MK II low level
Bombsight was designed for use and heights up to 1000 Ft and
developed primarily for the bombing of German Submarines at
low level.
The Mk III was also very
effective against land targets and was introduced into
service in May 1943 with the RAF nos 2 group operating
Boston Medium Bombers.
It also saw service with the
famous 617 Dambuster Squadron in Lancasters in 1944. A few
examples were also used by RAF 627 Squadron Mosquitoes of
the 8th Pathfinder force.
In
excellent complete and original condition.

Aerial darts
falling on Calvary in WWI
|
WWI German Flechette (pg1 arm)
This piece is a testament to
the brutality of the First World War and the very first
offensive bombing weapon. These simple darts were
dropped in their thousands over the trenches of the Western
front on the troops and supply lines.
When dropped from an
aircraft at 5000Ft these simple weapons would reach a
velocity matching a rifle bullet and pierce a soldiers
helmet and also caused horrific injuries to the pack mules
and horses used to supply the troops. In A1 original
condition and despite the huge numbers they were originally
produced in, is a very rare example of the first aerial
delivered armament.
This is super rare 100% original Fliegertruppen, Imperial German Flying Corps aerial dart or
flechette. This is a very large version of the dart and
could be the only survivor of its kind in the world.
This is a high quality precision engineered item that screws
together in three sections and is about 28cm long and about
300g in weight.
With metal tip and tail it has a wooded shaft, possibly two
large to be dropped in numbers from fixed wing aircraft it
may have been dropped from airships or possibly had a
specialist purpose for killing war horses?

This is superb item, it is
a camera gun version of the Lewis gun used in the mid 1930's
and early 1940's RAF aircraft.
Made by
Houghton-butchers ltd of London they were used to train

attacks. It was used in all aircraft fitted with the Lewis
gun one of the most notable being the Fairey swordfish that
despite its antiquated design continued in service with the
FAA during WWII and being the aircraft responsible for
crippling the Bismarck rudder in a torpedo attack, which
caused the ship to circle and the Royal navy to close with
its capital Battleships.
Swordfish gunners among

Boozer Indicator
for Lancaster(pg1 arm)
Here we have a
very rare original Boozer indicator fitted to Stirling's,
Lancaster's and possibly other heavies, from
1942 to 1944.
This indicator
would have fitted in the main pilots panel. Designed to warn
the pilot he was being tracked by a night fighter.
Boozer
was a receiver which provided a visual indication that a
bomber was being held in a radar beam of a type known to be
used for following aircraft
It was
intended to make Boozer a universal fitting in bomber
aircraft.
In April
1943, a request for this equipment to be supplied on a large
scale was made, but for various reasons this target was
never in within sight of realization.
Technical difficulties rising chiefly from an insufficient
knowledge of the details of enemy equipment. Interference
with other airborne radar equipment, such as Monica and
later carpet, and production shortcomings restricted the
number of boozers available.
Boozer idea was undoubtedly a very sound one, the more so
because the apparatus did not itself radiate and so was
immune from homing danger, but the practical obstacles were
too great for it to be really effective and there is no
evidence that it ever achieved the success that was hoped
for it. It was finally discontinued in September 1944
