Visited this old bungalow with rubex after a tip of from a friend.the place was very cluttered in several of the rooms.owned by a polish man.with a love for electronics and photography.there was electronic components everywhere.and photography books.my friend told me there was two cameras there but he said they had gone walkies on his second visit.

Yeah, if it ain't nailed down, chances are it'll get nicked. Well up to your usual standard's Mikey, Thanks

Lovely as always Mikeymutt

So nicely done, quite poignant this one. A few pieces of history here.

It is in fact a surplus Mk 3G manifold pressure gauge - fitted to early Spitfires, Hurricanes and Lancasters. The fact that the enamel finish has not been removed from the counter sunk holes by the panel fixing screw heads, indicates this item was never fitted. In the late 50's / early 60's the shops and yards of Dealers who made a living selling ex MOD equipment, were awash with original packaging holding brand new, surplus flight instruments. My local dealer in Doncaster was J. Burley, who's yard was in Sprotborough - In 1959 I purchased a complete bomb sight computer (mechanical and full of gears and cams) and the full suite of H2S cathode ray tube monitors for the bombing radar as fitted to the Lancaster. The Radio Ham mags of the period were full of instructions on how to modify the monitors into oscilloscopes, which I duly did and the 'computer' was raided for the gears etc. All this stuff could be brought very cheaply - Omega, Record and Jaeger pilots/aircrew watches for a fiver - I built up a small collection of these which I still have. Happy days!!

Thanks for the info, i once purchased one that was labelled spitfire and used it in my Turbo Mini
