This is a mint condition air cock as fitted to Spitfires in its original box. It was made by Vickers Armstrong and is identical to the very rare fuel cock used in Spits. The only difference is that the fuel version is made of brass. This piece would therefore be ideal for display purposes or can be used functionally for its original purpose subject to the required checks.

Prime Minister Sir Winston Churchill , to the House of Commons June 18th 1940

"What General Weygand called the Battle of France is over. I expect that the Battle of Britain is about to begin. Upon this battle depends the survival of Christian civilization. Upon it depends our own British life, and the long continuity of our institutions and our Empire. The whole fury and might of the enemy must very soon be turned on us. Hitler knows that he will have to break us in this Island or lose the war. If we can stand up to him, all Europe may be free and the life of the world may move forward into broad, sunlit uplands. But if we fail, then the whole world, including the United States, including all that we have known and cared for, will sink into the abyss of a new Dark Age made more sinister, and perhaps more protracted, by the lights of perverted science. Let us therefore brace ourselves to our duties, and so bear ourselves that, if the British Empire and its Commonwealth last for a thousand years, men will still say, 'This was their finest hour.'

1913 dated Pump (pg1 fuel)

I suspect this to be a fuel priming pump for a pre WW1 aircraft, this is the oldest aviation part on the website. It is clearly dated 1913 and made by Lunkenheimer, a company which still makes valves and pumps to this day. The other numbers are SP. 28477 Type EB. If anyone can tell me exactly what this part belongs to I will supply a voucher to use on the website. The pump functions, the right angled bar acts as a tap, the face plate is faintly marked "ON" at the top. A 1913 By plane is shown left.
