 | P-51 Mustang Trench Art Model - This is a really stunning example. The base is made from a section of wooden propeller embossed no. 2 and inset in the top is a small steel ashtray. The model is resting on a point 303 bullet. The P-51 is finely crafted from aircraft alloy and the set has clearly been worked by skilled hands. Almost certainly dating from WWII, this is as nice an example of trench art as we are likely to find. P-51 wingspan 6" (15 cm)

| 617 Dambuster Squadron Gold Bullion Badge - This is a high quality item with a King's Crown and with Dam's logo to the centre showing a lightning bolt striking the dam with water flowing from the breach. Below this is the squadron motto "Après moi le déluge", which translated means "After me the flood." The badge has clear stitch marks to the reverse where it has been unpicked and we are confident this is an original item rather than a modern repro. Measures 4.25" (11 cm) Please checkout other 617 related items we have just listed.

| Luftwaffe 1KG Incendiary Bomb (Brandbomb) Type B1E - This example was picked up having failed to ignite after one of the many raids on Coventry in WWII. It has subsequently been defused to make a display item. This type of incendiary was dropped by the Luftwaffe in clusters and was used throughout the war. ARP's were taught to neutralise them by placing in a bucket and filling with sand. It has various stamps on the body and cap, including 306 DL 145 and has a further mark AZ8312. Body retains much original silver paint, whilst the fins show a little rust and pitting. Measures 13" (35 cm)

| RAF Mk IVB Goggles Accessories Case - This item is lacking contents but perfect to display with a set of IVB goggles and it should be possible to collect over time the missing contents which would have included spare lenses, Everclear demist stick and a tool for removing the flip screen. An identical case is illustrated on page 33 of Mick Prodger's excellent Luftwaffe v. RAF Flying Clothing book. The case is made from brown leather (amazing quality for wartime production) and crisply stamped with AM, King's Crown and stores ref. no. 22C/167. Measures 5" x 4" (14 cm x 11 cm)

| RAF Hullavington Presertation Tankard - Engraved to front 'Presented to the Officers Mess Hullavington by No. 2 E.C.F.S. Course October 1942'. Hullavington in Wiltshire opened as a flying training school in 1942. A new unit termed the Empire Central Flying School (ECFS) was formed and on 15th July, 1942 no. 2 course flying Blenheim V's started. It was customary to present a gift to the officers mess on completion of the course and clearly that it where this tankard then served. It is marked on the base Walker & Hall, Sheffield, 1 pint capacity. RAF Hullavington closed in 1965. If our tankard could talk, it would clearly have some tales to tell!

| Harvard I & II Spade Grip AH2242 - A classic example of a WWII RAF spade grip which is similar in many ways to an early Spitfire example but as the Harvard had toe operated brakes, there was no requirement for a brake lever or guide plates. Both hydrolic pipes are in place and the gun button, finished in alloy rather than brass, works as intended. In original black paint with a near perfect grip cover, it would be hard to find a more original example.

| RFC Mk V Aviator's Panel Watch - This example is marked on the dial 30 hour non luminous Mk V and maker code is B.K. and numbered 5787. B.K. indicates this instrument was manufactured by Electra. The reverse of the case is engraved with the RFC property mark of an A with a broad arrow below. This device was used on RFC watches between 1914 - 1917. The watch is in running order although we cannot guarantee its accuracy and on sale as a collectable. The enamel dial has repaired damage at the 10 o'clock position but generally a good example from the early days of aviation with a clean case and excellent crystal.

| RAF 'Scramble Bell' dated 1942 - An original example of the larger size which also features a most impressive King's Crown, AM and dated 1942. We purchased this bell privately in Devon, South West England but sadly have no provenance as to where it served. The crown hanger is stamped R.O. and carries the remains of the original red paint. This bell is made from nickel silver and the knocks on the outside indicate it has certainly seen service. As often the case, the original clapper is missing but we will supply with a modern brass replacement. The ultimate item for the serious RAF collector. Measures 12" (30 cm) and weighs c.20kg without packaging so please check with us before ordering.

This example is fitted with an aluminium cover which has been engraved with the date 20.04.1969. The capacity is marked at 0.5L. There is some crazing to the finishing glaze but a fine example to an extremely collectable squadron. The Molders name was withdrawn from use on 74 squadron in 1998.
