No 1 Original complete Blind Flying Panel Bolingbroke/Blenheim (pg 21 inst)

This is a quite unique original Blind flying panel complete with all its original instruments and connections.

This was source from Canada and came straight out of a Bolingbroke the Canadian version of the Bristol Blenheim .

Click on pictures to enlarge

In early 1937 the RCAF wanted a general reconnaissance aircraft and, in accordance with Canadian policy, looked to Britain for its supply. The Bristol 142M Blenheim was being tested primarily as a bomber; the Bolingbroke, an improved Blenheim, was being designed as an interim replacement for the Avro Anson reconnaissance aircraft. The Blenheim was ruled out because of its poor visibility. This narrowed the choice to the Bolingbroke

The Bolingbroke was of all-metal, stressed-skin construction. It carried a crew of four and had one fixed 0.303 Browning machine-gun firing forward and a flexible 0.303 Browning firing aft. It carried up to 1,000 lb (454 kg) of bombs.

Shown above centre the Lancaster flight engineers panel from  official Airminsirty notes.

Here is a superb Lancaster Flight engineers panel. Using this panel the Lancasters flight engineer would monitor the engines and control the use of fuel from various tanks to maintain the aircraft in trim.

The actual panel is a aluminium reproduction and is complete with all switches and instruments.

The fuel cocks are accurate reproductions of the originals which simply do not exist  and are not available.

The wheels rotate but there are no valves attached and they are for display only.

There are no fuel gauges included as the Lancaster did have variations and will allow you to customise the panel to your own requirements. There is some very slight damage to the top LHS of the panel with a small amount of paint loss.

The German Focke-Wulf FW 190 single-seat fighter appeared suddenly and in large numbers in the skies over Northern France during the summer of 1941. Britain scrambled to create an airplane equal to this powerful, agile, high-altitude adversary. The Mk VIII, a much-refined version of the Mk V, was only in the early stages of production, and it was put on hold. Instead, as a temporary stop gap measure beginning in 1942, Vickers fitted Spitfire Mk Vs with a larger Rolls-Royce Merlin engine, a two-stage supercharger, intercooler, and a four-bladed propeller. This stopgap Spitfire, the Mk IX, actually stayed in production through 1944, and was produced in much larger numbers (5,665) than the Mk VIII (1,658). There were three versions of the Mk IX: the LF (low-altitude) had a clipped wing; the F was the standard fighter version; and the HF (high-altitude) had extended wings and a pressurized cockpit.

Mk IX Spitfire panel complete with supercharger plate. This panel is supplied as standard with the later Square type oxy regulator.

These reproduction flap levers have been a long time coming. They are a vast improvement over the cast alloy ones we had previously.

They are perfect copies of the visible section of the flap valve and are completely machined from steel by hand.

They contain a piston and a spring so that they snap crisply up and down as in the original. I am confident there is not another reproduction of this quality currently being produced.

They have a nice heavy feel to them and will complete your Spitfire panel to the highest standard.

On demand we can also supply the type used in the early Spitfires which had a more angular bracket see below.

The American built Douglas C- 47 Dakota was adapted from the DC-3 Dakota commercial airliner. It was named the Douglas C-47 Skytrain by the US Army, designated the R4D by the USN, and was commonly referred to as "Gooney Bird" by American troops.

It was one of the most successful aircraft designed and built, and had great longevity. The last C-47 was retired from the American Air Force in 1975. The type was praised by Gen. Dwight D. Eisenhower amongst the most important instruments of victory in WWII. More than 13,300 of the DC-3 and C-47s in all its forms were built - this included Japanese and Soviet production.

Prime use of this aircraft was for transport, but also for reconnaissance or even as gunship's by the Americans.  It was commonly used to carry personnel and cargo, tow gliders (usually one Waco CG-4A), and drop paratroopers. The need to take supplies over the Himalayas led to the C-47B version with higher horsepower engines. Among the unusual variants of the C-47 was one where the engines were removed and it was converted into a glider and another that was equipped with floats.

Only two Dakota IV saw service with the Fleet Air Arm in WW2, although the type was in service with the FAA later in 1945 and into 1946. FD904 served with 782 Northern Communication Squadron in 1944, which linked the Scottish RN air stations with Lee-on-Solent. At the Fleet Air Arm station at Wingfield in South Africa, 789 squadron, a Fleet Requirements Unit, possessed one Dakota from February 1945 until it disbanded in November 1945, when the aircraft was transferred to 799 squadron at Wingfield.

This is a really rare plate from a Hamilcar glider RR993.

The GAL.49 Hamilcar was a heavy-lift assault glider designed to carry up to 60 troops, a 7-ton Tetrarch IV light tank (or similar light vehicles) or cargo loads up to 17,500 lb. Produced mainly from spruce and birch with a fabric-covered surfaces, it had a staggering all-up weight of 37,000 lbs.  It was created in sections for easy transport and assembly although due to its net un laden weight of 19,500 lbs, it required large and powerful tow-aircraft to get it airborne,

It was designed against Specification X.27/40, with the prototype (DP206) being flown for the first time at Snaith on 27th March 1942.

Initially designed with a jettisonable undercarriage, this was replaced when it was discovered that it had a far shorter stopping distance when fitted with skids,  Those aircraft employed in ferry operations did however have a fixed undercarriage to reduce damage.

Vehicles were loaded through the hinged nose of the aircraft which could be quickly swung open after landing to allow rapid unloading. The undercarriage oleos were also collapsed so that vehicles could drive straight out without requiring any form of ramp.

Picture one far left is the quality inspection stamp which would have been applied at the factory it was made in. The centre is the BFP. Right is the reference number of the panel. 6A/760.

The most likely thing to ID it's specific use would be the inspection stamp which almost always related to a factory. So far I have been unable to identify the factory stamp. The Castle Bromwich Stamp where Spitfires were produced from  is CBAF. The first Spitfire was produced at Castle Bromwich in June 1940 and to my mind if this was from a MK V Spitfire it would carry a stamp with CBAF.

Data plate from a named Spitfire aircraft TB 287, the plate is faded but you can make out the information.

The Spitfire XVI was the last major version of the Spitfire to be powered by the Rolls-Royce Merlin before introduction of the RR Griffon powered variants. Externally similar to the Mk. IX, it was powered by the US licence-built Packard Merlin 266 and was flown with both normal and clipped wings. Later production examples featured a cut-down rear fuselage with a sliding bubble canopy to improve the pilots' view. Total production of the type was 1,054, entering service in November 1944 and remaining in production until August 1945, the last month of the war. It was used as a fighter bomber against V2 rocket sites and airfields in the closing months of the European war, and a handful remained in RAF service until the mid-1950s.
