Russian
Hurricane Merlin exhaust valve
(No 73 pg 1 PWR)
This is an exhaust valve from a
MK II Hurricane fitted with a Merlin XX engine number 54767.
The Russian front was
probably the most brutal conflict of WWII. Hurricanes were
supplied by Britain to Russia via the treacherous Arctic
convoys. Once in Russia the Hurricanes were rearmed using
Russian armaments,
This inlet valve was
recovered in Russia from a MK II Hurricane VVS fitted with a
Merlin XX engine number 54767. Russian Pilot senior Sergeant
Ryabov was shot down by a BF 109 during a recognisance
mission on the 5th of February 1943.
The aircraft came down in
Murmansk on the western side of lake Pyaiva.
This was
3 days after the 163-day Battle of Stalingrad had ended
after the last of the German Sixth Army forces surrendered.
This is an amazing and poignant peace of history considering
its journey through the Artic in winter to the most brutal
front in WWII a small but essential part in the fight
against fascism.
We have small number of
peaces the valve spring in place from the same aircraft
shown above which will be sent with the valves as stocks

Rolls Royce Griffon Header
Tank
(No 52 pg 1 PWR)
Here is an original Griffon
header tank in excellent condition, it looks to be fully
serviceable subject to the required checks.
The
successor of the great Merlin
engine, the Rolls-Royce Griffon
played its part in helping to win
the Second World War when it was
fitted to iconic warbirds such as
the Spitfire and Seafire.
Griffon
development began in response to a
request from the Fleet Air Arm of
the Royal Navy in 1938. Navy
aircraft tend to be larger and
heavier than their land-based
counterparts; this obviously puts
greater demands on the engine if
performance is to be maintained.
To meet
this demand, Rolls-Royce went back
to the concept of the Schneider Air
Racing Trophy “R” engine.
The
Griffon, essentially a modernized
Merlin, is a 60 degree V-12 with
2239 cu. in. displacement (the same
parameters as the “R” and 36%
greater displacement than the Merlin
while having an only slightly larger
frontal area.)
However,
this was a totally new engine,
featuring many design updates and
improvements over the Merlin.

R3350 Duplex Cyclone ignition Harness
(No 49 pg 1 PWR)
This is an ignition harness
from an R3350 Aero engine and appears to be old new stock
although I offer no guarantee that it works..
The Wright R-3350 was a twin-row, 18-cylinder
radial engine that was developed from the
Wright
R-1820 Cyclone and
was one of the most powerful radial engines produced in the
United States. Work on the engine began in January 1936 and
the first R-3350 was run in May 1937.
Development proceeded slowly due to the
complex nature of the engine and concentrated effort on the
Wright R-2600.
It was similar in design to the
company's R-2600 14-cylinder radial, sharing the same bore
and stroke, but adding four more cylinders for additional
displacement.
Development accelerated after the USAAC
issued its requirement for a long-range heavy bomber in 1940
resulting in the Boeing
B-29 Superfortress.
A serious effort was made then made to
get the engine into production and the R-3350 finally made
its first flight in 1941.
Click on pictures to
enlarge
Shown above the B29
Superfortress
The B-29 Superfortress revolutionized World
War II-era bombers, enabling long-range missions over Japan.
The "super bomber" could carry more payload and fly faster
than the Army's B-17 or B-24 heavy bombers. The B-29 was
also equipped with a pressurized interior, allowing crewmen
to fly long distances in relative comfort. Two modified
B-29s dropped atomic bombs on Hiroshima and Nagasaki, Japan,
helping end the war in the Pacific. Another carried Chuck
Yeager and the Bell X-1 rocket plane aloft for the first
supersonic flight in 1947.

B24 Liberator Engine Mount
(No 47 pg 1 PWR)
This is an engine mount from a B24
Liberator in good restored condition . This mount was purchased from an aircraft fitter
who removed it from a Liberator based at Dunkeswell in Devon
England. It is a superb piece in its own right but has the
additional historical interest of having seen active service
at Dunkeswell.
The US Army's 479th Antisubmarine Group was based at Station
173, Dunkeswell, Devon, which had been designated as FAW-7's
new home in England.
The primary mission area for VB-103 and
its sister squadrons in FAW-7, VB-105 and VB-110, was the
Bay of Biscay. German U-Boat bases were located at Brest,
Lorient, St. Nazaire, La Rochelle, and Bordeaux on the
French coast, and from there the U-Boats fanned out north,
west, and south in search of their prey. To counter Allied
ASW assets in the area, the Luftwaffe's V/KG40, equipped
with the powerful Ju88C-6 heavy fighter, ranged across the
Bay of Biscay from Bordeaux-Mérignac, and accounted for many
Liberator disappearances. Several Ju88s were claimed by
FAW-7 gunners in the bloody air battles between them and the
Liberators.
Joseph
Patrick Kennedy (pictured above) was the elder
brother of President John F. Kennedy, and was born on the
28th July 1915. He completed his flight training at
Jacksonville U.S.A. in 1942. As a volunteer U.S. Navy pilot
he flew Mariner flying boats from Puerto Rico, Central
America, before converting to the B24
Liberator and serving in England at Dunkeswell, Devon,
with Squadron VB110. After completing his normal combat
tour of 30 missions, he volunteered for an extra 10 -
somehow managing to talk his crew in to flying with him.
Just before his last mission Lt Kennedy volunteered for one
further final mission which involved low level flying and a
parachute jump. This mission was to be Top Secret as part
of project Anvil, the target being the German V3 Supergun
site at Mimoyecques, France. The details of this mission
remained secret until 1966, although the identity of the
crew was not released until 1970.

The Mercury's smaller size was aimed at fighter use,
and it powered the Gloster Gauntlet
and its successor, the Gloster
Gladiator. It was intended that the larger Pegasus
would be for bombers, but as the power ratings of both
engines rose the Mercury found itself being used in almost
all roles. Perhaps its most famous use was in a twin-engine
light bomber, the Bristol Blenheim.

R-1830 Twin Wasp was an American aircraft engine widely used
in the 1930s and 1940s. Produced by Pratt & Whitney, it was
a two-row, 14-cylinder, air-cooled radial design. It
displaced 1,830 cu in (30.0 L) and its bore and stroke were
both 5.5 in (140 mm). A total of 173,618 R-1830 engines was
built, and from their use in two of the most-produced
aircraft ever built, the B-24 bomber and DC-3 transport,
more Twin Wasps may have been built than any other aviation
piston engine in history.

Three Cylinder Lawrence of New York Radial engine model
(No 31 pg 1 PWR)
This is a stunning vintage
one off highly detailed hand made model in metal and wood of
a three cylinder engine as used in the earliest aircraft .
The model looks to be aged and is not a modern reproduction.
The closest match I can find is an L3 designed and built by
the Lawrence
Aero Engine Corporation of New York.
Lawrance L-3 In 1914, engineer Charles L.
Lawrance became interested in the development of air-cooled
aircraft engines. After considerable research, the
Lawrence Aero Engine Corporation of
New York, New York, began
to manufacture two-cylinder models on a small scale. These
included the Models A-3 and N-2. The
first of the three-cylinder designs
was the Model B built originally in 1916.
It was a three-cylinder radial engine with power ratings
progressively improved from 35 to 60 hp. This led to a
follow-on series of three-cylinder radials, the L-2, L-3,
L-4, and L-5. Continuing the development of his air-cooled
engine designs, Lawrance later developed his Model R and
then the famous Model J series of engines. As a result of
Wright Aeronautical acquisition
by merger of the Lawrence Company in 1923,
the J series were eventually designated Wright Whirlwinds.
The U.S. Army and Navy purchased a number of Lawrence L-2
engines, which developed 60 shp. The L-3 was an improved
version of the L-2
Seen
under an original
Lawrance L-3 Radial
Engine
Charles A. Lindbergh was planning his solo flight, New
York to Paris. Lindbergh's story is aviation history. He got
his airplane from Ryan in San Diego,
fitted with a J-5C designed by Lawrance. He was first
and alone. Lindbergh's flight was an international triumph
for Wright Aeronautical. The Whirlwind engine never missed a
beat.

French Potez 54 Aircraft Data Plate (No 29 pg 1 PWR)
This is
probably unique extremely rare plate taken from a French
Potez aircraft shot down during the Spanish civil war
This
two-engine aircraft was built by the French Potez company to
fulfil a 1932 specification for a new reconnaissance bomber.
Built as a private venture, this aircraft, designated the
Potez 54, flew for the first time on 14 November 1933.
Designed by Louis Coroller, it was intended as a four-seat
aircraft capable of performing duties such as bomber,
transport and long-range reconnaissance.
Their first
combat was in the Spanish Civil War, where they were
employed by the Spanish loyalist side. A poor design that
was already obsolete just two years after its introduction,
when confronted by the higher performance German and Italian
planes of the same period, the Potez 540 proved itself a
failure in Spanish skies during the Civil War and was
labelled as 'Flying Coffin by Spanish Republican pilots In
the late 1930s, these aircraft were becoming obsolete so
they were withdrawn from reconnaissance and bombing duties
and were relegated to French transport units. They were also
employed as paratrooper training and transport aircraft. By
September 1939 and the beginning of World War II, they had
been largely transferred to the French colonies in North
Africa, where they continued to function in transport and
paratrooper service. Their role in even these secondary
assignments was problematic given their poor defensive
armament and vulnerability to modern enemy fighters.
Following the French capitulation to Germany in June 1940,
those Potez 540s still flying served the
Vichy French air force mainly
in the French overseas colonies. Most of these machines were
retired or destroyed by late 1943. |

Glycol tank for a Bristol Beaufort
(No 26 pg 1 PWR)
A glycol tank for a Bristol Beaufort in
good original condition.
The Bristol Beaufort was one of a
series of aircraft derived from the earlier Bristol Blenhiem.
It was designed in response to two Air Ministry
specifications issued in 1935. M.15/35 called for a
torpedo-bomber and G.24/35 for a general reconnaissance and
bomber aircraft. The aircraft that became the Beaufort was
the third Bristol aircraft submitted to these
specifications. The first aircraft to be submitted to
specification G.24/35 was the Bristol Type 149, which went
on to be produced in Canada as the Bolingbroke and in
Britain as the Blenheim Mk IV, for use as a light bomber.

The de Havilland
DH.98 Mosquito was a British multi-role combat aircraft with
a two-man crew that served during and after the Second World
War. It was one of few operational front-line aircraft of
the era constructed almost entirely of wood and was
nicknamed "The Wooden Wonder".The Mosquito was also known
affectionately as the "Mossie" to its crews. Originally
conceived as an unarmed fast bomber, the Mosquito was
adapted to roles including low to medium-altitude daytime
tactical bomber, high-altitude night bomber, pathfinder, day
or night fighter, fighter-bomber, intruder, maritime strike
aircraft, and fast photo-reconnaissance aircraft. It was
also used by the British Overseas Airways Corporation (BOAC)
as a fast transport to carry small high-value cargoes to,
and from, neutral countries, through enemy-controlled
airspace. A single passenger could be carried in the
aircraft's bomb bay, which was adapted for the purpose.

useful for a static rebuild or of coarse a great collectable
in its own right.
The
drive for improved high altitude performance gave rise to
the Merlin X, the first mark to incorporate a
two-speed
supercharger in place of the previous single speed unit. The
similar Merlin XX gained significant performance benefits
from Stanley Hooker's work on improving the aerodynamic
efficiency of the supercharger. The XX series and its
developments primarily saw service on the Hurricane II and
Mosquito in Fighter Command, as well as being widely used on
a number of Bomber Command aircraft, notably the
Mosquito,
Lancaster, and Merlin Halifax.

Rolls Royce Kestrel Supercharger (No
2 pg 1 PWR)
The Kestrel was a 700 hp
(520 kW) V-12 aircraft engine from Rolls Royce, their first
cast-block engine and the pattern for most of their future
piston-engine designs most famously the Merlin. One key
advance in the Kestrel was the use of a pressurized cooling
system.
The engine was first produced in
1927 at 450 hp (340 kW), which soon improved in the IB model
to 525 hp (390 kW). This model saw widespread use in the
famed Hawker Hart family that
dominated British air power during the early 1930s.
However it was not long
before line improvements increased power dramatically; the V
model provided 695 hp (520 kW) at 3,000 rpm with no basic
change to the design, while the XVI used in the
Miles Master delivered 745 hp
(560 kW). Messerschmitt also tested its first
BF 109 prototypes with Kestrel engines in 1935.
Increased
availability of higher octane aviation fuel in the late
1930s allowed the engine to be boosted to higher power
levels without suffering from ping, and the Kestrel
eventually topped out at 1,050 hp in the XXX model of 1940.
This is a super rare
probably unique supercharger from an early Rolls Royce
Kestrel.
This
supercharger was saved from an engine that was broken for
scrap in the 1970s and so is straight and has not been
crashed. The vanes in the supercharger turn freely and it
should be serviceable subject to the required checks.
