one of our suppliers in New Zealand. The donor gauges were
sent out to NZ completed and sent back so have already
travelled about 24,000 miles by air!.

point the needle any where you want if required.

Well this is an anomaly, I
have looked up the reference number of this gauge A/M
6A/135. It states as follows.
Type B1 10' capillary Spitfire
PR
As fitted to the unarmed, high
and fast flying recon Spitfires of the PRU. In mint
condition with untouched capillary and sender unit. Almost
certainly a very early mark as its using a capillary.

Original Spitfire U/C indicator (pg1ins)
This is an incredibly rare
Undercarriage Indicator for a Spitfire. This part is
very hard to find and is fully functional. This one is in
as near mint condition as any i have seen. It came in its
original box and appears un used. A Spitfire only part used
on all Mks.
Fitted to every single Mk of
Spitfire. This piece was made for Spitfire
use only and was unique to Spitfires.

Reproduction Spitfire U/C indicator (pg1ins)
Finally we have managed to secure a decent reproduction
of the Spitfire undercarriage indicator. It is a superb copy
and without doubt currently the best available on the
market. It could easily be fitted with bulb holders and we
will do this at a small additional cost if required. The
only flaw with this reproduction is that the screen is not
functional, to make this work would add a huge cost to the
unit. You can now complete a Spitfire panel without breaking
the bank. We have all the rare parts available as
reproductions on this website including the flap lever, the
fuel gauge, the trim indicator and now the U/C indicator.
Currently only one in stock.

Reproduction Spitfire U/C indicator Mk II (pg1ins)
As above this is the best quality reproduction Spitfire
undercarriage indicator on the market. This model has been
substantially improved with the addition of bulb holders and
the wire which conducts away heat from the bulbs. So far
this is a one off as its difficult to produce economically.
The manufacture of this instrument is experimenting with a
pull down blind which as you can guess is a huge amount of
work watch this space.

This is the Mk III version it has a fully operational pull

work and this will probably be the only one made as in
reality its more expensive to make than an original.

(Identification Friend or Foe) Spitfires had these fitted to
the top RHS of the cockpit. The unit transmitted a signal
for 15 secs out of every minute thus identifying this
aircraft as friendly to the radar operators below. This enabled
fighter command controllers to vector Fighters on to the enemy with
two distinct plots. This is in mint unused condition in its
original box. This is the 12 volt fighter version.

By the time of the
1,000-bomber raids of May/June 1942, the Hampden was nearing
the end of its service with Bomber Command and the final
operation by Hampdens took place in mid-September 1942 when
No 408 Squadron RCAF were in action over Wilhelmshaven.

Hampden fuel gauge (pg 1ins)
A superb
Hampden fuel gauge very rare known examples number only a
very few world wide. A very early example which appears to
be in working
order.
Hampdens joined the first
Bomber Command daylight operation of the war when aircraft
of No 83 Squadron (one of which was piloted by Guy Gibson)
joined an attack on German naval vessels in the Schillig
Roads along with Wellingtons and Blenheims.The first two VCs
awarded to Bomber Command personnel were to Hampden
crew-members. Hampdens had found a new lease of life as
torpedo-bombers with Coastal Command and operated as such
until the end of 1943. These were the last operations of the
1,453 Hampdens to serve with the RAF.

Beaufighter Overload Tank
fuel gauge 1
(pg1 ins)
The most heavily armed Allied
fighter of World War II, the Beaufighter was one of the
finest multi-role combat aircraft to see service. To the
Japanese, the Beaufighter became known as "The Whispering
Death" which gives some idea of the speed at which one
could suddenly appear, strike and turn for home.
Beaufighter's were also flown by the air forces of Britain,
Australia, Canada, New Zealand and, in small numbers, the
US.

Beaufighter Undercarriage indicators(pg1 ins)
Undercarriage indicator's for a
Bristol Beaufighter. This is extremely rare a Bristol part
unique to the Beaufighter, superb item for the specialist
collector. We have two set's of three gauges
only one is boxed. They are in as new condition. These are
extremely rare and nicely marked indicators. These are
harder to find than Spitfire undercarriage indicators and
have got to be a good investment.
The Bristol Beaufighter
was a remarkable aircraft. Great strength and power, good
speed at low elevations and a most formidable and flexible
armament. Its premier role was as a
night fighter it was also intended from concept to be
a long-range fighter. It developed into an
anti shipping and
ground attack cannon and
rocket-firing fighter, torpedo plane and tactical bomber.
Its versatility and heavy armament
feared by the enemy. The Japanese called this
aircraft Whispering death.

20mm Ammunition Counter (pg1 ins)
These instruments are a very
attractive and desirable, collectable. The ammunition counter
is intended to give the pilot an indication of the number of
rounds remaining. It was thought prudent to under indicate
by 5% the remaining ammo.
The gauges indicates rounds
per inboard gun, the counter can be altered to set the
number of rounds and does seem to confirm Fighter rather than bomber use
as Bombers don't generally have wing mounted guns.
I am at a loss to
explain which gauge this aircraft fitted and I must admit I
have never seen one in a cockpit layout, I afraid for now its
application is a mystery.
Can anyone help?
