Type B1 10' capillary Spitfire PR

As fitted to the unarmed, high and fast flying recon Spitfires of the PRU. In mint condition with untouched capillary and sender unit. Almost certainly a very early mark as its using a capillary.

Reproduction Spitfire U/C indicator (pg1ins)

Finally we have managed to secure a decent reproduction of the Spitfire undercarriage indicator. It is a superb copy and without doubt currently the best available on the market. It could easily be fitted with bulb holders and we will do this at a small additional cost if required. The only flaw with this reproduction is that the screen is not functional, to make this work would add a huge cost to the unit. You can now complete a Spitfire panel without breaking the bank. We have all the rare parts available as reproductions on this website including the flap lever, the fuel gauge, the trim indicator and now the U/C indicator. Currently only one in stock.

Beaufighter Overload Tank fuel gauge 1 (pg1 ins)

The most heavily armed Allied fighter of World War II, the Beaufighter was one of the finest multi-role combat aircraft to see service. To the Japanese, the Beaufighter became known as "The Whispering Death"  which gives some idea of the speed at which one could suddenly appear, strike and turn for home. Beaufighter's were also flown by the air forces of Britain, Australia, Canada, New Zealand and, in small numbers, the US.

546 Gallon Fuel gauges (pg1 ins)

This fuel gauge was used in the Lincoln Bomber the replacement of the Lancaster. These fuel gauges are also suitable for use in the Lancaster engineers panel.

The Avro Lincoln was a long-range, high altitude version of the successful Avro Lancaster four-engined bomber. The first RAF Lincoln BI flew on June 9, 1944, and operational squadrons were preparing to join Tiger force in the war against Japan, when V-J Day was declared. Although the Lincoln did not take part in World War II, one Lincoln (RF345) was shot down by Russian MIG-15 jet fighters while on a training flight near East Germany in 1957. RAF Lincolns also operated against the terrorists in Malaya and the Mau-Mau in Kenya. Lincolns were phased out of service in the late 1950s, and were the last piston-engine bombers of the RAF.

 Beaufighter Undercarriage indicators(pg1 ins)

Undercarriage indicator's for a Bristol Beaufighter. This is extremely rare a Bristol part unique to the Beaufighter, superb item for the specialist collector. We have two set's of three gauges only one is boxed. They are in as new condition. These are extremely rare and nicely marked indicators. These are harder to find than Spitfire undercarriage indicators and have got to be a good investment.

The Bristol Beaufighter was a remarkable aircraft. Great strength and power, good speed at low elevations and a most formidable and flexible armament. Its premier role was as a night fighter it was also intended from concept to be a long-range fighter. It  developed into an anti shipping and ground attack cannon and rocket-firing fighter, torpedo plane and tactical bomber. Its versatility and heavy armament feared by the enemy. The Japanese called this aircraft Whispering death.

20mm Ammunition Counter (pg1 ins)

 These instruments are a very attractive and desirable, collectable. The ammunition counter is intended to give the pilot an indication of the number of rounds remaining. It was thought prudent to under indicate by 5% the remaining ammo.

The gauges indicates rounds per inboard gun, the counter can be altered to set the number of rounds and does seem to confirm Fighter rather than bomber use as Bombers don't generally have wing mounted guns.

 I am at a loss to explain which gauge this aircraft fitted and I must admit I have never seen one in a cockpit layout, I afraid for now its application is a mystery. Can anyone help? contact me

Dated 1942

Lancaster Visual indicator (pg1 ins)

This is an A1 boxed Visual indicator as fitted to Lancasters and other RAF Bomber aircraft. It enabled the pilot to navigate along a beam sent out from Britain. The needle would indicate how far left or right of the beam the aircraft was.

RAF Carlisle (previously RAF Kingstown) was a RAF establishment, now closed after being used for a variety of roles over a period of fifty eight years and formerly located 2 miles (3.5 kilometres) north of Carlisle city centre in  Cumbria England.

The station was latterly the home of No. 14 Maintenance Unit and occupied the various sites originally used by RAF Kingstown's Elementary Flying Training School during WWII The site was usually known both locally and within the RAF by its shortened form of 14 MU. The site had also served for a short period in the 1930s as a civilian municipal airport for the City of Carlisle but proved to be underused and uneconomic
