From my fuselage number research, this would correspond to WT874 1389

There are no other serials in this range.
(I own WT873, which is SSK/FF 1388 which helps prove it)

I think there should be some paperwork arround for it as it was rescued from Thurleigh and some of the people involved there are still in the glider movement.

Any idea on what this model is all about?

I once had a very similar model, made by the husband of someone I worked with in my first job.

I don't think it is wartime; there is too much fake trench art around to take a gamble.

He's not kidding either!

It's not a Gipsy Six. It's half an engine and what's there is basically just scrap - I've scrapped better ones than that. Crazy.

I see that the Sea Prince listing has ended early, hopefully it will be good news for it, and fans of it!

Westland Wessex HC.2 XV720, which was discussed on THIS thread http://forum.keypublishing.com/showt...=1#post1854199 when it was seen "road running" recently, turned up at Hixon in Staffordshire, in the "care" of Air & Ground Ltd about two weeks ago.

They are now offering it for sale at £11,940.00. See link: http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Westland-W...#ht_500wt_1109

Word is that the Newark Air Museum were offered this Wessex, about a week ago, with an asking price of £15,000 (less engine). Newark apparently passed on this helicopter, so it is now your chance to acquire it, should you happend to have a spare eleven-and-a-half-grand in used fivers under the mattress. Contact

Would it have killed him to clean it up bit first??? surprised he doesn't sell the water filled tray as well!

**Wyvernfan** · 6th February 2012, 20:06

So who's now £1,790 lighter... is it you Cees?

**CeBro** · 7th February 2012, 05:52

Thank goodness no,

I already have one. I wonder what the winner is going to do with it.
Start a Halifax cockpit? Anyone know who he is?
37 bidders, it looks like the Halifax is no longer mr underrated.
What's next, another throttlebox?
These things still turn up, so anyone have an Hampden bits?

I can always ask.

Not quite 37 bids from 12 bidders

**Air Ministry** · 7th February 2012, 12:47

What's next, another throttlebox?

Were you aware of this one, Cees? Any idea where it came from and might it be the one you recall being advertised in Flypast some years back?

http://navigator.rafmuseum.org/resul...ze=1&id=139526

**CeBro** · 7th February 2012, 12:50

Yes, I was aware of that one and have made some attempts to obtain it from the RAF Museum, even if on loan at the time. The even have two, the other is a sectioned example for instructional purposes. The Trustees were very clear, they are not a warehouse where you can buy items. I can understand that but having one Halifax and three throttle boxes......

The one advertised in flypast was offered for 65 pounds at the time and was said to have come from a museum. That's all I remember.

Now, any Hampden throttle boxes lying in your garage?

Cees

**Air Ministry** · 7th February 2012, 13:01

No throttles but I did have an ammo container for the fixed forward firing gun at one time.

I think I may have sold it, or at least I haven't seen it in a while. I'll have a check in the garage!

**J31/32** · 8th February 2012, 19:20

old drop tank but what from? Sea Hawk?

Vampire, but not at that price!

**J31/32** · 8th February 2012, 20:13

Funny you should mention Vampires (or bits of at least). Couple of rudders.

Couldn't be Hornet could it? Looks like the type where the pylon extends ahead of the wing leading edge.

Very nice selection of British stick grips in the States, Lightning, Buccaneer, Harrier etc. http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/ENGLISH-EL...#ht_695wt_1185

**TonyT** · 9th February 2012, 11:54

I used to change these all the time and throw them in the bin lol

http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Aircraft-J...item3cc1cde7bb

Though they were a mix of platinum and rhodium if memory serves me correctly, often wondered what they would be worth, but i think he has a decimal point failure.

**Big Barf** · 9th February 2012, 13:07

Anyone fancy parting with nearly 15k for the front end of a Tornado F2?

If you don't fancy the 15 grand item above, you could sit under this and pretend

The Halifax column looks very much like the one that was sold by Horners at their December sale in 2010 for £1300.
