PRU Spitfire Camera brackets (pg1 air)

Part Number 365= Mk XI PRU Spitfire shown above.

The PRU Spitfires were fitted with two vertical telephoto cameras installed behind the pilots cockpit. Photographs were taken through apertures in the floor of the fuselage. The cameras were accessible through hinged panels on port and starboard sides. Additionally, an oblique camera was mounted to obtain photos through the side of the fuselage, aimed by the pilot using a sighting line on the port wing tip.

Combining height with speed, the reconnaissance Spitfires were able to elude most attempts at interception by the enemy. The technical quality of their cameras enabled them to operate at high altitudes without sacrificing the quality of the photographs obtained.

Here we have a super rare pair of Camera brackets which hold the camera in place in a MK XI PRU Spitfire, they are in very nice condition with no rot or damage.

Part Number 224 = Aircraft type     Part Number 35= Seat

This is an extremely rare piece being an original seat part from the fore runner of the Spitfire the Supermarine type 224.

Issue of Specification F.7/30 in 1930 for a single-seat fighter led Supermarine to build its first aircraft intended for this role. Designed under the direction of Reginald J Mitchell as Type (or Drawing) 224, Supermarine's proposal was one of three to gain Air Ministry backing for prototype construction (along with Westland and Blackburn), an order for one aircraft being placed in 1932. Based on experience gained with the Supermarine float seaplanes designed for participation in the Schneider Trophy contests, the Type 224 was of all-metal construction with fabric covering of the wing aft of the mainspar and of the tail surfaces. Its 600hp Rolls-Royce Goshawk II engine had an evaporative cooling system, which was to prove to be a major reason for the eventual failure of the Type 224 to gain acceptance. Armament comprised two 7.7mm guns in the fuselage and one in each mainwheel fairing. First flown on 19 February 1934, the Type 224 failed to achieve its performance estimates, and, after a prolonged sojourn at the RAE Farnborough, went to the A&AEE and eventually ended its days as a gunnery target.

FW 190 Flap (pg1 air)

Here we have a complete flap from a FW 190 clearly from a crash sight but sadly we do not know the history of the aircraft,

The FW 190 known as the butcher bird by the Allies may not have been pretty but was an exceptional fighter , when introduced in late 1941 it proved superior to the Spitfire MK V  which suffered heavy losses to the 190. The MK VIII Spitfire was not ready to enter service so the MK IX basically a MK V with an extra prop blade , radiator and two speed supercharged Merlin 66 was rushed into service. This proved more than a match for the 190 and shocked many Luftwaffe Pilots with its performance, it became the most produced Mk of Spitfire of the war.

Shown above left Lancaster FM 159 above right a MK X Lancaster in her wartime camouflage

Here are some original marine marker flair storage holders from the Bazalgette Lancaster.

 FM159 is one of the 7374 Avro Lancaster bomber aircraft  produced during WWII. This Lancaster was produced by Victory Aircraft Ltd in Malton, Ontario in 1945 and made it to England too late to serve in the war.  It was flown back to Canada where it served in reconnaissance missions through the Canadian North for several years, until being decommissioned from service when it was bought to serve as a war memorial in Nanton, Alberta.

Today the FM159 is the feature plane at the Nanton Bomber Command Museum.

In 1963 she was used again for the filming of the movie “633 Squadron”. After several owners and falling into a derelict state she is now being restored at the Wings Museum in Sussex.

There is plenty of information about this aircraft available online with its complete history.

The new aircraft was two feet longer than the Hs 122. The basic parasol wing layout was retained, but a new more angular wing was developed. A cantilever undercarriage was used, allowing each wheel to be supported by a single streamline strut in place of the two struts of the Hs 122. The front half of the cockpit, containing the pilot, was enclosed, while the observer/ gunner's section remained open. It was to be powered by the Bramo 323 Fafnir radial engine.

Here is an original cowling removed from MK XVI Spitfire SM 234. approximately 720mm x 730mm

SM 234 reached 601 Squadron on the 1st November 1944 and it seems to have spent much of its short career attacking V2 mobile launch vehicles . Parts like cowlings often required small modifications to get them to fit and so when they were removed the ground crew were in the habit of marking them to ensure they went back on the correct. airframe. This piece was recovered from RAF Kenley in the 1960s.

From the positions of the fasteners shown below is the position of the cowling available just above the exhaust stubs.

Above the MK XVI Spitfire note the clipped wings as a primarily ground attack aircraft the clipped wings made it less twitchy at low altitude.

The Mk XVI was the same as the Mk IX in nearly all respects except for the engine, a Merlin 266. The Merlin 266 was the Merlin 66 and was built under licence in the USA by the Packard Motor company. The "2" was added as a prefix in order to avoid confusion with the engines, as they required different tooling. All Mk XVI aircraft produced were of the Low-Altitude Fighter (LF) variety. This was not determined by the length of the wings (clipped wings were fitted to most LF Spitfires), but by the engine, which had been optimised for low-altitude operation. All production Mk XVIs had clipped wings for low altitude work and were fitted with the rear fuselage fuel tanks with a combined capacity of 75 gal. Many XVIs featured cut-down rear fuselages with bubble canopies. On these aircraft the rear fuselage tank capacity was limited to 66 gal.

Armament for most Mk XVIs consisted of 2 × 20 mm Hispano II cannon - each with 120 rpg - and 2 × .50 calibre Browning machine guns - each with 250 rpg. 1 × 500 lb (227 kg) bomb could be carried underneath the centre rack, and 1 × 250 lb (114 kg) bomb could be slung under each wing. Some production aircraft had rear fuselage fuel tanks in addition to the main tank which allowed it to fly approximately as far as the Spitfire Mk VIII. Problems with the licence-built engines limited introduction to front-line squadrons for several months. A total of 1,054 Mk XVIs were built by Castle Bromwich

Pearl Harbour Film prop Flap (pg1 air)

Many many years ago our Replica Spitfire was used in the Film Pearl harbour, to simulate battle damage they made aluminium plates to go on the fuselage.

All the special effects were done at Pinewood studio.

 Here is one of those plates with simulated bullet holes. Why was a Spitfire in Pear Harbour Film , the answer is they showed scenes from the Battle of Britain representing an American Eagle Squadron.

 Michael Bay was not to interested in accuracy as the aircraft all had RF markings which in fact was from  the famous 303 Polish Squadron. I was on the film set during filming quite an eye opener Michael Bay decided mine did not have enough damage and proceeded to take a hammer to my new shiny canopy!

No eagle squadrons were actually involved in the Battle of Britain although there were nine American Pilots serving in the RAF. Regardless its a nice wall hangar.

Our Spitfire was painted as RF-M in the film and Ben Affleck sat in the cockpit..

There were two aircraft painted with these markings a flyer and our replica as clearly they were not allowed to simulate bullet holes in a flying Spitfire.

There are pictures on the internet one particular one shows two aircraft together marked RF-M. You can see mine on the right with four Prop blades with the flyer on the left.

Shown under our Spitfire without the battle damage and painted in the correct scheme for a MK IX this aircraft toured many shows in the UK and is the only running static ever built with a working Rolls Royce 27Ltr V12.
