Post subject: | Time to help a new guy out. :) |
Okay so being passionate about warbirds and aviation and all, I have began collecting warbird parts, historical memorabilia and such. I one day hope to own or run a flying museum but for the time being I can't afford anything like that. Therefore I have started with small parts that interest me. This all comes with the dissatisfaction of family and friends who consider it a waste of money haha. For starters if you have any parts going cheap, sort of, and are in Aus or nearby message me? Second and more importantly I need your help. Below I will list with a pic each the items in my inventory. If you can provide any info or any of them it will be greatly appreciated. Also and this is a priority I am looking to restore them to museum or airworthy quality except I have no idea how and am afraid of damaging them and losing their value or historical significance, so to speak. Any help is greatly appreciated as I am generally just trying to get into the warbird scene more. I live in QLD, Australia btw. Thanks for reading and thanks in advance for your help. Without further ado. B 25 Mitchel Seat Bases (High Priority) Airscrew Filter Box? GAF Lincoln Door Handle DH Vampire Window Suction Gauge (Also Priority) Mirage Joystick Controls radar or something, Not Aussie I also have a Pratt and Whitney Engine Valve in original box Thanks for helping and sorry for long post. |

That Lincoln Door handle was fitted to the armored door inside the centre-section just aft of the main spar. It looks something like this one from a Lancaster.... |

Hi So recently I acquired a few more items . I managed to pick up two Manifold Pressure Gauges and a Starboard fuel tank for a H13 Sioux. I would restore the gauges but the fuel tank is in such great condition I don't think I would want to compromise that. It even has the rubber seals. You'll see it was inspected in Sep 73 so around the Vietnam era. Looking for any information on restorations or a Sioux or info on any parts. Cheers http://i741.photobucket.com/albums/xx60 ... e65d6d.jpg http://i741.photobucket.com/albums/xx60 ... c768b9.jpg http://i741.photobucket.com/albums/xx60 ... 99faf9.jpg http://i741.photobucket.com/albums/xx60 ... a43e2c.jpg http://i741.photobucket.com/albums/xx60 ... 66c549.jpg |

It's not in AU, but the Sandbar Mitchell folks are selling miscellaneous parts on eBay to fund the Mitchell project. http://www.ebay.com/usr/warbirds_of_glo ... 1438.l2754 |
