This is an original door panel from a Castle Bromwich constructed Spitfire which is seen by the quality inspectors stamp VA for Vickers Armstrong and CB for Castle Bromwich. It is superb condition with no corrosion, it appears to be straight and should be flyable subject to the required checks. The original hinge is still in place.

The Supermarine drawings show this to be a door allowing access to the accumulator  on the starboard side of the Spitfire. Pieces like this which are original straight and free from corrosion do not turn up very often, it is a large recognisable original piece of Spitfire  and will only continue to increase in value well above any other currently available safe investment.  The price of a flying Spitfire has increased  to £2,500,000 plus in 2011 and each time one appears on the market the price increases. Available serviceable parts have followed this trend, and although most of us will never own an original Spitfire this is an opportunity to own a very desirable piece and a great investment.

Externally the Mk XVIII was very similar to late production MK XIV. It had the bubble canopy and cut back fuselage. It was armed with the “e” wing, with two 20mm cannon and two .50in machine guns, or four 20mm cannon. 300 were produced, 200 of which were FR (Fighter Reconnaissance) aircraft, which sacrificed some fuel capacity to carry two F.24 vertical cameras and one F.24 oblique camera. It used either a 2,035 hp Griffon 65 or a 2,340 hp Griffon 67. The Mk XVIII saw service after the Second World War, in Malaya and in Palestine.

A piece of Spitfire history 100% original piece from a Mk XVIII I was told by the person I bought this from that it was the only piece on the aircraft that gave any clue to its original identity having a serial number HS669 painted inside the fairing ,which equates to Spitfire MK XVIII serial number TP 367. The sale also includes a mod plate from the same aircraft.

Feast your eyes a quite unique and superbly rare item. The Radiator cowling as fitted to Hurricanes, an original item with its flap still attached. As these Cowlings are slung low under the aircraft they are vulnerable and very rarely survive any belly landing or undercarriage failure completely destroys them. This one is in good original static condition.

You can see the radiator cowling clearly on the underside of the Hurricane above.

Above  and right original centre section.

Available as a result of the break up of our Hurricane project is a complete centre section including frame  cowlings and undercarriage attachments new made from steel for a static Hurricane project. It is extremely strong and was made to cope with a running Merlin. This piece is the heart of the Hurricane, the original, seen under is an extremely complicated piece made from multi sided tubing that has to be made specially manufactured at huge cost. This is a unique piece for any Static Hurricane project and something which took well over 100 hours to construct using original drawings. The complicated original construction was replaced with tubular and box section steel and is very close in appearance to the original. The dimensions are as original. The cowlings shown are included. This will have to be collected or we can deliver for a cost of £1 per mile in the UK. To ship oversees will be expensive and I would suggest you get a shipping quote before purchase. I would estimate its weight at around 250 to 350 Kgs.

This is a static new made steel copy of the Hurricane windscreen assembly and comes complete with an original windscreen not shown. This as with most Hurricane parts is difficult to replicate and relies on access to original drawings which are not readily available. The windscreen is thick bullet proof laminated glass and is heavy.

This is a pair of Merlin engine mounting brackets for the Hurricane. The stainless brackets have some damage but will be Ok for patterns the cast parts are straight.

This is a plan of the layout for a Lancaster instrument panel. It is not the best of plans but Lancaster drawings of the panel are notoriously hard to get hold of. It does show the relative positions of the instruments. The plan is about 1/2 scale, the text is not two clear but its the best we can do for the present.

This was quite an incredible find. Its a new old stock of a Hotspur glider leading edge. It comes complete in its original box with the airframe ID number 26Ed which is the Airministry reference for the Hotspur.

The Hotspur glider was small, seating only 8 troop seats; the more famous Horsa was much bigger. While the Hotspur Mk 1 was intended for combat use, its performance with a full load was not adequate for operational use, and subsequently all Hotspurs were used for training duties only.

The Hotspur Mk I had a hinged upper fuselage section, designed to allow the rapid exit of the onboard troops. The Hotspur Mk II had its wings clipped by 16 ft (4.88 m) and a larger cockpit canopy, making it more suitable for training flights. Cabin doors replaced the hinged fuselage section. The Hotspur Mk III had completely duplicated flying controls, reflecting its use as a training version.

I was reliably informed that this is a window from a Mosquito. It has Mosquito stencilled across the window but does not show on the picture. It has its locking catches all in place. However I am now not sure the information was reliable as having spoken to several mosquito experts they confirm its not from a standard Mosquito.
