Spitfire drop tank connector (pg1 fuel)

This is a peace from my personal collection. It comes from the Spitfire drop tank and was discovered at an old RAF Fighter station at Culmhead in Somerset.

Spitfire Part number 300 65 80

It comes from a Spitfire belly  drop tank shown under .

Culmhead was an active airfield throughout the war with Squadrons of Spitfires based there and units from Farnborough doing testing and research.

On D Day Typhoons flew out of Culmhead escorted by Seafires of the Royal Navy .

A personal friend of mine Battle of Britain Pilot Dave Glaser who was with 234 Squadron at Culmhead testing drop tanks, he showed me His log book and had a recorded flight of over five hours in a Spitfire.

The drop tank was fitted to one of the wings and the pilots had standing orders to ditch the aircraft if the tank refused to be released because it was considered to dangerous to land with one attached.

 However Dave Glaser flying his personal Spitfire did not want to loose his favourite aircraft and actually landed with the tank attached when it refused to release.

I am not sure of the consequences for refusing to obey the order but I knew He was a rebel as in the style of many of the Battle of Britain Pilots he wore His hair long for the standards of the day and He told me he was reprimanded many times for this.

Squadron Leader Glaser not someone who is famous but actually fought from the Battle of Britain age 19 in 1940 right through to 1945 in Australia Fighting the Japanese. There is a complete article about Him on this website follow this link if you want to know about Him.

Messerschmitt Bf 109 E Fuel priming pump (pg1 fuel)

Here is an extremely rare fuel priming pump as fitted to the BF109 E. There is no damage or chips to the case and the pump moves up and down without any resistance.  This piece also appears to be fitted to the BF 110 and a similar version also appears in the FW 190.  

The Bf 109E was the standard Luftwaffe fighter at the start of the Second World War. It was the only single engine Luftwaffe fighter in use during the Battle of Britain, Like all early versions of the 109, it was relatively short lived, being replaced by the 109F in 1941.

The 109E was the first version of the fighter to be based around the Daimler Benz 601 engine, giving it significantly superior performance to the earlier Jumo 210 powered machines. Its top speed rose by 60 miles per hour, its service ceiling by nearly 5000 feet! The DB 601 engine used direct fuel injection instead of a carburettor, meaning that it performed much better under negative G than the Spitfire or Hurricane, or than earlier models of the 109 (apart from the 109C, which has a similarly designed Jumo 210G engine).

Work on the 109E began in the summer of 1938. The first prototype of the new variant, the 109V-14, flew then. It was powered by the DB 601A engine, and armed with two nose-mounted MG 17s and two wing mounted MG/FF cannon. A second prototype, the V-15, soon followed, this time armed with a single nose-mounted cannon.

Production of the Bf 109E-1 was delayed by problems with the DB601 engine. The pre-production E-0s were ready by December 1938, by which point complete 109E-1 airframes were being made. However the engine did not appear until the spring of 1939. This partly explains the sudden rapid appearance of the 109E in Luftwaffe service over the summer of 1939 – all that was left to do was fit the engine to the aircraft. 850 Bf 109E-1s were delivered in the first eight months of 1939, in time for the outbreak of war.

1939 Fuel transfer pump (pg1 fuel)

This is a very nice piece dated 1939 its a fuel transfer pump. The reference code of 27F identifies it as airborne fuel equipment and so was definitely fitted to an aircraft. Fuel transfer pumps were only required in bombers or larger aircraft to stabilise the aircraft as fuel was used. So far I have been unable to identify the specific aircraft it was used in but there were a limited number of aircraft which were in service with the RAF in 1939. It may have been used in more that one aircraft type but a definite contender is the Short Sunderland flying boat that had mechanical fuel transfer pumps as a back up to the electrical ones. This aircraft stayed in the air for very long periods and carried a huge fuel load which would need to be moved around the aircrafts various fuel tanks to maintain stability in the air. It is of coarse quite possible this was fitted to a Wellington or Hampton which were also operational in 1939.

Westland Whirlwind prototype and MK I fuel selector switch (pg1 fuel)

This is a unique item, it is a fuel selector switch and gauging push button for a Westland Whirlwind..

 It is not Airministry marked and has a stamp which identifies it as made by Smith and Sons. Being a specifically made part for a specific aircraft I believe this was made only for the Whirlwind and was only used in the prototype and the MK I. It was not used in the Whirlwind after the MK I.

This probably makes this part unique with no other surviving examples. In total only 116 Whirlwinds were produced including the two prototypes.  It is in excellent condition and functions as it should the switch moves and the push button depresses.

Seen in situ above and below in the Westland Whirlwind prototype cockpit. Click on the Pictures to enlarge them.

Two prototype Whirlwinds were ordered by the Air Ministry in February 1937, and the first of these flew on 11 October 1938. Despite delays in development and production of the Peregrine engine, two contracts were placed in 1939, each for 200 fighters as Whirlwind Is, and the first series aircraft flew in June 1940. In the event, production ended with 114 aircraft built, these serving with only two RAF squadrons (Nos 263 and 137). Armament problems and changing operational needs curtailed the usefulness of the Whirlwind, which was enhanced in late 1942 by the addition of a pair of wing racks to carry two 113kg or 227kg bombs. Operational use of the Westland fighter came to an end in November 1943.

This is a huge piece its a drop or slipper tank from a Spitfire. Fitted as extra fuel tanks to increase the Spitfires range they were jettisoned once empty or if the aircraft went into combat. This was recovered in Holland. Its frightening to think of the effect one of these monsters would have dropping out of the sky from 10,000 Ft. Its clear its badly corroded having spent years outside however it is an amazing piece.

Spitfire K Gass (pg1 fuel)

Here is a nice but damaged K Gass recovered from a Spitfire wreck in the port of Le Havre. It has some corrosion  to the steel  fixing bolts and is seized , the mounting plate is bent out of shape.

 I do not know the identity of the aircraft but I found a report of  MK IX Spitfires being shot down in the area on the 5th September 1942 after a raid by twelve A 20 light Bombers. Six credits for downed Spitfires were awarded to the Abbeville Boys. Four free French Pilots from nos 340 Squadron were lost and one Spitfire from no 64 Squadron crashed into the channel. There is of coarse no proof that it came from one of these Spitfires but this does have potential for further research.

This alledgely came from a Mustang crash sight but I have no information other than what the seller told me to back this up, clearly it has been crashed as it has some damage . At 400 gallons per hour it would seem over kill for a mustang which at most should only consume a maximum of 120 Gallons per hour. I can tell you from my research that it was used in Wartime US aircraft.

Here is a Fuel Filler Cap for the 108 Gallon Paper Drop Tank.

This was found in the Netherlands by Aviation Archaeologists and There is still parts of the Paper attached to the Filler Cap

The original cigar-shaped 108 US Gallon tanks were delivered from British sources, and had a 'smooth' exterior, being constructed from mild steel. But, due to the need for this 'precious' metal for more important uses, a paper version was designed, the thinking being that, why waste valuable steel on a 'use once then throw away' product.
