Looking to Buy Some Vintage Aircraft Parts (Serviceable or Not)
Posted: Thu Jul 27, 2017 4:07 am
G'day all.
Our boss is about to hang up his spurs after 35 years in the RCAF. He has a penchant for vintage airplanes. As a parting gift we were hoping to get him something, (Prop blade, instrument, etc...), from a vintage aircraft. Ideally it would be something on which we could either mount a plaque or mount on a plaque. We have $200 to spend, (we don't expect anything serviceable at that price). The ideal item would be an old aircraft chronograph (inside joke; the Boss is the only guy that still winds the one in our aircraft). We've looked online and sent out some feelers, to no avail. Could someone here point us in the right direction?
