480MPH MK III Spitfire ASI (pg7 ins)
The 480
MPH Airspeed indicator was generally introduced in
the MK V Spitfire onwards. This one however is
dated 1939 which makes it too
early for MK V application. Research leads me to believe
that this ASI was most likely produced for the very rare
MKIII. Introduced in 1940 but
not made operational until 1941.
The Mk III never went into
full-scale production. It was to be fitted with the Merlin
XX engine, which developed 1,390 hp
and so the fuselage and engine mountings needed
strengthening, as did the main gear legs.
A
retractable tail wheel was also incorporated. The
most radical change was the cropping
of the wing tips in an attempt to improve the
aircraft's rate of roll, even at the expense of radius of
turn.
Armament was to
comprise four 20mm Hispano cannon,
the machine guns being removed; but although intended as an
air superiority machine par excellence, the Spitfire III was
to be overtaken by the events of war.
A top speed of 385mph was achieved
in level flight. so a 480
MPH seems to be a suitable margin for this aircraft. The
400MPH ASI fitted to the Mk I and MK II would not be
suitable for this aircraft. The MK IX was only 25MPH faster
at 410MPH and was also fitted with the 480MPH and this ASI
continued in Spitfire's throughout the War in all Mk's.
It is also possible these
were also used in early PRU Spitfire's
which also had superior performance to the combat aircraft
in service . I cannot find any performance figure's at this
time for the MK II PRU Spit's.
The
fact is all 480MPH ASI's are hard to obtain, but with
1939 date, make's this one practically unique. So far I have
never seen another 480MPH ASI of this date and neither has
anyone I have spoken to making this an extremely
desirable piece of Spitfire heritage.

Hampden Rev Counter (pg7 ins)
The Hampden was the last
of the twin-engine medium bombers to go into service during
the expansion of Bomber Command in the late 1930s and,
together with the Wellington and Whitley, it bore the brunt
of the Royal Air Force's attacks against Germany in the
early years of the Second World War.
Better manoeuvrability and performance than its two
contemporaries led to high expectations, but early war time
operations proved the aircraft had serious deficiencies. Two
particular problems were identified. The very narrow
fuselage provided cramped accommodation for the crew causing
fatigue on long missions. Unlike other British medium
bombers the Hampden had no multi-gun power-operated turrets.
Its fixed forward gun was next to useless and the three
flexible gun mountings in the nose and fuselage had a
limited traverse which produced a number of blind spots.
Modifications were put in hand to provide more guns but the
fuselage design remained a problem throughout its service
life.
After a disastrous, but mercifully short, daylight campaign
Hampden's were switched to night operations until 1942 when
a number were converted to carry a torpedo. Eventually 144
aircraft were modified in this way and the type continued in
service with Coastal Command as a torpedo bomber until
December 1943.
