Been into warbirds for sometime, I call myself a collector my wife calls me a hoarder!
This panel off an Australian Beaufort which was salvaged from a wreck in the south west
pacific area, from underneath the pilots position, you can just see bomb mission markings.
Save this from being scrapped, local museum did not want it. From Sandringham VH-BRA
"Beachcomer" replaced from when she was washed ashore on Lord Howe Island in 1974.
These platforms folded out from the leading edge, so maintenance could be performed on
the engines. Its a bit corroded but a nice piece of history with a NZ connection was formerly
with TEAL as ZK-AMD "Auckland".
Another Museum save this is the top of the rudder of PB2B2 RAAF Catalina A24-381 which
crashed on the island on the 28/9/48.
Have a bit of a collection of gauges, off Valtee Vengeance, Lancaster, Wirraway.
