Gloster Javelin Control Grip (pg7 Jet)

Mint condition control grip from a Gloster Javelin

The story began in 1947 with the issue of an Air Ministry requirement for new fighter aircraft. To counter the threat of a nuclear attack by high altitude bombers, both day and night fighters with all-weather capability would be needed.

Gloster's project P.280 was a delta-winged aircraft, the design work being assisted by delta-wing research carried out by Germany during the War. The prototype aircraft carried the serial WD804. It was designated GA.5 and first flew on the 26^th of November 1951. In July of the following year this aircraft was chosen in preference to the DH110 and the Ministry of Supply placed an order for it to go into ‘Super Priority’ production, and officially named it ‘Javelin’.

These were the Spitfires of my day. I can remember seeing them flying overhead when I was a small child operating out of Yeovilton in Somerset.

Phantom Cockpit light (pg7 Jet)

Cockpit light from the famous phantom jet fighter mint condition.

5cx/5755

The McDonnell Phantom rates as one of the most successful warplanes of all time. It was developed by the company which had produced the F2H Banshee and F3H Demon shipboard fighters as an air defence fighter for the United States Navy. First flight of the F4H-1, as the new aircraft was initially designated, was on 27 May 1958. The first F4H-1 Phantoms entered USN service with VF74 in July 1961. The new comprehensive designation system introduced in 1962 resulted in the F4H becoming the F-4. Before that time the F4H had been selected by the USAF as a tactical fighter designated F-110. Subsequently the Phantom served with distinction in a range of roles with US air arms and further afield.

MIG Clock (pg7 jets)

Designed and in service as a strategic nuclear bomber, some were converted to in-flight refuelling tankers and remained in service until 1993. Much use was made of them in the 1982 Falklands campaign and the 1991 Gulf War.

The Victor was produced to Specification B35/46 and fifty MkI aircraft powered by Armstrong Siddeley Sapphire engines were built and delivered as bombers. Most were converted to tankers in 1965 and their bombing role taken over by the more powerful and higher flying MkII aircraft with Rolls-Royce Conway engines. After initial service carrying free-fall nuclear weapons, the Avro Blue Steel stand-off missile was fitted. Eight aircraft were converted to the Strategic Reconnaissance role and served with No.543 Squadron.

The Victor 2 bomber fleet was withdrawn in 1968.

Due to the failure of the Handley Page company, the conversion of 24 MkII aircraft to tankers was undertaken by Hawker Siddeley at Woodford.

The Victor K2 aircraft carried out all of the in-flight tanking requirements during the Falklands campaign. The final major use of these machines occurred in the Gulf War when 299 sorties were demanded and all were completed successfully in spite of the aircraft being over 30 years old.

Hunter F6 Control Grip(pg7 jets)

Complete and in good condition.

The Hunter F5 produced by Armstrong Whitworth first flew ion 19th October 1954 and entered service with 263 squadron in April 1955. A total of 105 aircraft most operated from Cyprus during the Suez Campaign of 1956. with 1 and 34 squadrons. the Hunter F6 entering service with the Royal Air Force in October 1957, This version was the largest production of all the marks, with a total of 379 built for the \RAF. and another 36 exported  to Switzerland and Indian air forces. The F6 was used for the aerobatic teams with 111 squadrons Black Arrows  and 92 squadrons Blue Diamonds.  The F6 was modified for use mainly in Middle east and tropical climates. This new version was designated the Mk 9 These replaced the aging Venoms as ground attack aircraft. 

Jet Provost Control Column (pg7 jets)

A control column and grip from a Jet Provost.

Developed by Hunting Percival Aircraft from it's piston Provost primary trainer of the late 1940's, the Jet Provost was built in response to a 1953 RAF requirement for a jet powered primary trainer so as to provide pupils with all through jet training. A fairly simple re-design led to the Alvis Leonides engine in the nose being replaced by an Armstrong Siddeley Viper jet of 1750 Ib thrust, and the fitting of a nosewheel undercarriage. The first often Jet Provost T.l's flew in the summer of 1954 and the type was used for trials by No. 2 Flying Training School from the summer of 1955 alongside the existing piston Provost. These trials proved that trainee pilots showed no great problems in receiving their initial training on a jet as opposed to a piston aircraft. A greater benefit was that pilots on the Jet Provost took less time to reach their solo flying stage than on the existing Provost. During 1957 and 1958 four aircraft from the Central Flying School operated the RAF's Acrobatic Team.
