Cheers guys.

I do pop-in every now and then and have a look to see what devilment you're upto . I'm kinda busy at the moment so dont get the chance to spend much time with you

Anyway, have a go at this one. I was surprised to see it !!

And a bonus point if you can tell what the 'thingy' is used for !

Pure guess - Fairey Battle, and undercart retraction crank? But I have a feeling that seat harness is American - so I'm wrong!

Terry's sanity is intact...its not a Wildthingy or a Battle.

It is American in origin...it did fly with other Airforces...and it is the manual undercart arm exerciser for the dude flying her

A number have been used for racing and two even had swept wings fitted for research !!

I've changed my mind - it's a P-63!

Not attached to anything, though.

And Connies had R-3350s.
