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?

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
