Ronnie Posted March 3, 2012 Share Posted March 3, 2012 I guess you must all have some interesting items hidden away - here's mine:- I think this might be unique; it dates from 22nd August 1987 and the Last Last Lightning Show. I could tell you how I came by it, but then I'd have to kill you......................... Ronnie 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scarlet Posted March 3, 2012 Share Posted March 3, 2012 Mine are all Binbrook related, various Lightning bits: - Fin cap, windscreen, wing tip, pitot cover and a table lamp made out of a tailplane bearing. I did have a nav's seat from a Vulcan, but gave it to the local ATC squadron as I was stuck for room. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jacksdad Posted March 3, 2012 Share Posted March 3, 2012 Not worth much, money wise, but I have a signed photo from Oscar Boesch who was a Sturm pilot flying the FW190, my favourite aircraft. Steve Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DaveJL Posted March 3, 2012 Share Posted March 3, 2012 I have a few bits: A B-52 Crew patch given to me by a very friendly B-52 co-pilot at RIAT in 2005. I have a paperweight too. A bit boring, but did mention it was a 30mm cannon shell from an A-10? Dave Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Navy Bird Posted March 3, 2012 Share Posted March 3, 2012 Hi Mates, My best piece of memorabilia is this tachometer from the Spad that my Grandfather flew in 1917 in France: At one point, I had a German WWII fuselage insignia (on canvas) which I think was cut from a Storch at the end of the war, but I'm not sure. I sold it on eBay for $750 to a collector in Japan. Had no idea what it was worth, so if it was worth more, don't tell me!! Cheers, Bill Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ronnie Posted March 4, 2012 Author Share Posted March 4, 2012 Wow...........there's certainly some great stuff out there. Perhaps we should mount an exhibition Keep 'em coming................................. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SPerx Posted March 4, 2012 Share Posted March 4, 2012 Ah, Binbrook.............. I have a Lightning combined altimeter and VSI on the bookshelf beside me. It weighs a ton and makes a very useful bookend. I also have a full set of the Squadron Prints series of Lightnings done when the Lightning was withdrawn, plus Stuart Black's limited edition print. But best of all in my book is my copy of Jerry Crandall's "Knight at Dawn" signed by Erich Hartmann. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shar2 Posted March 4, 2012 Share Posted March 4, 2012 I've got a few bits and bobs, such as parts of a Sea Harrier canopy we had to manually detonate when on board HMS Invincible, a suspension lug for a 1000lb bomb and a bulkhead from near the front of an Argentine A-4 shot down during the Falklands War.
