Attachment 317717Attachment 317721G’day all thought i"d show my latest acquisition.
Some time ago i was chatting on here to a collector who had a Battle damaged lid which i thought looked like it had been deliberately damaged with a pick axe to render them useless after the War i believe this one has met a similar fate and i have included a pic of this practice

Cheers Phill

This is a standard Portative Mk I. However is is mounted on a tripod that no one in my shooting circle has ever seen. We researched it but found nothing that even comes close to the mount. It uses part of the normal Portative Crow foot mount to attach to the tripod. The mount resembles a Vickers mount. It also came with the skeletonized butt stock, barrel wrench, brass strips and loading machine.
Has anyone seen this type of mount for the Portative?:confused:

As I have been going through some of my friends medals in the last few days we got out some of mine. Ithought these 2 would be worth showing you. I have never photographed them before so worth the effort. Anyone got an idea of value on these. They are not for sale but I guess I should have an idea for insurance purposes.
All the best,
D.

"The 354 Fighter Group ‘Mustang Pioneers’ Color Scrapbook" In color Exclusive Documentary. Rare color film of the legendary 354 Fighter Group, with over 700 Kills, the highest scoring American unit in Europe. You’ll see great aces like G.T. Eagleston and B. W. Carr at work and at play in their newly captured base in Germany in Spring, 1945, only a few months before war’s end. Nice scenes with the group’s well known P-51Ds too, including "Margie Maru" and "Angel’s Playmate." This was the first group to fly P-51Bs in the ETO. They were known as the "Mustang Pioneers." Amazing color gun camera film!

"Don’t Kill Your Friends" New! The first "Dilbert" cartoons were created during World War 2 by U.S. Navy Lt. Richard Osborn, based on the Navy flier name for operational errors –"dillies." The "Don’t be a Dilbert" warning and character was featured on a wide variety of posters promoting safety. As played here by "Dead End Kid" Huntz Hall Dilbert is a deadly combination of over confidence and bumbling incompetence who wreaks havoc among Naval personnel and innocent civilians. There’s a good look inside and outside the Navy F4F/FM carrier fighters used in training. In this humorous, yet deadly serious US Navy training film, Dilbert fearlessly provides a string of negative examples of what not to do during aerial gunnery practice.

"B-29s Over Dixie" New! A fascinating look inside the huge B-29 production facility built from scratch in Marietta, Georgia. Includes detailed views of revolutionary new production techniques, assembly line work, and the training and care of thousands of new workers. This film is a tribute to the massive American war effort that was an essential element in the victory of the Allies.

"The B-58 Hustler Wins the Bleriot Trophy" A pilot once said of the Convair B-58, "She looked like she was breaking the sound barrier just sitting on the tarmac." At Mach 2 +, the B-58 wasn’t just one of the fastest bombers of her day, she was one of the fastest military planes period. In 1930 the French aviation pioneer Louis Bleriot established a prize for the first aircraft to average over 2,000 kph for thirty minutes– the Louis Bleriot Speed Trophy. For 30 years, that prize lay unclaimed by any aircraft. See how supersonic B-58 Hustler "Firefly" took the prize in May 1961.-

"The Battle of Leyte Gulf" The Second Battle of the Philippines, popularly known today as "The Battle of Leyte Gulf," was the largest Naval engagement in history, swirling around the October, 1944 invasion of Leyte Island and the Japanese navy’s surprise counter strike. You’ll see dramatic naval surface battles and carrier air footage from several engagements, including "The Battle of the Sibuyan Sea," battleship action at "The Battle of Surigao Strait," "The Battle off Samar" where the gallant jeep carriers and destroyers of Task Unit 77.4.3 turned back Japanese Admiral Kurita’s massive Center Force Fleet, and "The Battle off Cape Engaño" where Admiral Mitscher’s Task Force 38 carriers pounded Japanese Admiral Ozawa’s carrier force.

"The Memphis Belle" Exclusive –exclusive color corrected video! The classic film chronicles the 25th mission of the Boeing B-17 Memphis Belle, striking the all important U-boat submarine pens at Wilhelmshaven. This is the original wartime documentary, written and directed by legendary Academy Award winner William Wyler. You’ll see Capt Robert Morgan and the men of the B-17 "Memphis Belle," 324th Squadron, 91st BG, going about their deadly business in rare Technicolor footage.

"Recognition of the Japanese Zeno Fighter." Lieutenant "Jimmy Saunders" (Ronald Reagan) learns how to tell a P-40 from a Japanese A6M Zero, the hard way. (That’s a very angry Craig Stevens aka "Peter Gunn" on the receiving end.) Contains plenty of interesting info about what US pilots were told about Japan’s most produced and feared fighter and how to spot it. Includes seldom seen footage of a captured Zero doing spectacular aerobatics.

If you haven’t stopped by Zeno’s Drive-In before, we also feature 1940-45 vintage WWII Army & Navy films and pilot’s manuals on how to fly the F4U, F6F, P-38, P-39, P-40, P-47, P-51, P-61, TBF/TBM, AT-6/SNJ, B-17, B-24, B-25, A-20, A-26, B-26, B-29, and Stearman N2S. Alert! - don’t miss the F-86 & B-58!

Hi all

What do you reckon to this piece? A friend of mine has just retrieved it for me from beneath a kids skateboard ramp, ‘built’ very close to an old RAF base. I am fairly certain it is an aircraft manifold and looks like a Merlin…….but can you help at all ?

Hope you can :)

I shall be arranging to go pick it up very soon
