This is a Grumman F6F Hellcat wing gun panel with good original wartime paint.

Based on the outer paint this likely came from a lend-lease F6F that was passed from the USN to the Royal Navy.

The Royal Navy used the hellcat extensively alongside the US navy in both the Pacific and Atlantic theaters, however this aircraft
was based in the pacific and maintained in Australia where the Royal Navy had several large aircraft depots.

It is in great condition and marked with "4 5 6" on the inside denoting the location of the 4th, 5th and 6th .50 caliber machine guns in the starboard wing.

World wide shipping is available.

This is an extremely rare first world war royal flying corps mark V tachometer made by S Smith & Sons in London.



This 600 - 2600 RPM type gauge was fitted to several British & Commonwealth aircraft from late 1917 and lasted into the interwar period.



Going off the tacho cable mounting this particular gauge was likely fitted to a De Havilland DH.9A gifted from the RFC/RAF to the newly established Royal Australian Air Force.

However the gauge could also be fitted to other types including:

Bristol Bulldog IIa
Fairey III F/D
Bristol F.2 fighter
SE5.a
some variants of the DH.60 Moth
some Sopwith aircraft

among other types.


DH.9


Bristol F.2B fighter

The "A" and the arrow on the rear casing called the 'Broad arrow' denotes it was issued from the Air Ministry to the Royal Flying Corps before 1919 when instruments then issued with a 6A/xxx number.




It is in remarkable unrestored condition for something that is approximately 105 years old and would most likely work as designed.

This is an very rare, combat used Mitsubishi A6M2 type 0 'Zero' fighter aircraft that was flown by the Imperial Japanese Navy during WW2 in battle against allied forces.

Believed to have belonged to the fighter air wing of the Japanese aircraft carrier Akagi, it participated in the early battles of the second world war in the Pacific including the bombing of Darwin, Australia.


(IJN A6M fighters taking off for battle during Operation I-Go)

The complete history of the aircraft is not known but what is known is that it was landed in the shortland islands for Operation I-Go, a Massive Japanese operation aimed at shoring up a line of defense against allied attacks in the south east pacific after recent defeats in the Battle of Guadalcanal & New Guinea.

However on the 18th of October 1943 the island where this Zero was based was attacked by the US Navy with 24 SBD dive bombers, 12 TBF Avenger bombers and 56 escorting fighters, followed up by 30 B-24 Heavy bombers and 17 P-38 lightnings that dropped 202 1000LB bombs on the runway and dispersal areas.



Although the aircraft did not take direct hit during the attack it was damaged by shrapnel and subsequently used for parts to keep other aircraft flying.

The remains of this aircraft were discovered hidden deep in the overgrown jungle and great effort has been put into recovering it from its isolated resting place for preservation and restoration.

The cockpit still contains many original items as it has remained completely untouched since 1945, however it is missing its seat, control stick and instrument panel as they were likely taken as souvenirs by US Marines after the Japanese surrender.



The remains are in remarkably sound condition and consist of the cockpit section complete with throttle, rudder pedals etc from the firewall and up to the rear bulkhead (which has been separated from the rear of the section) and wing sections with many places still retaining the unique green Japanese primer and stenciling.




This is possibly the last opportunity to own and restore a genuine Imperial Japanese Navy fighter aircraft from the second world war.

This is an extremely rare, combat used Mitsubishi A6M2 type 0 model 21 fighter aircraft, tail code AI-XXX, flown by the Imperial Japanese Navy during WW2.


(A6M launching December 7 1941 for the attack on Pearl harbor)

This very aircraft was on the front line at the outbreak of WW2, belonging to the fighter air wing of the Japanese aircraft carrier Akagi, it participated in the early battles of the second world war in the Pacific.


(A6M fighters stationed in Rabaul in April 1943 for operation I-Go)


The Akagi participated in the bombing of Pearl harbor on December 7th 1941 and later in January 1942 it was involved in attacks on Rabaul and in the bombing of Darwin.

The Akagi then participated in the invasion of Rabaul where it unloaded aircraft for the land based defence of the now captured Rabaul and Solomons chain of islands, however the Akagi was later lost during the Battle of Midway in June 1942.

This aircraft was then used in operation I-Go in April 1943, a massive Japanese offensive to destroy Australian, New Zealand and US forces in the Solomon islands area.

Believing this operation was successful, Admiral Yamamoto was flying to Rabaul to congratulate his forces when he was ambushed by P-38 lightning fighters, shot down and killed.

Operation I-Go was evidently not a success and soon after allied forces launched a massive bombing campaign against the amassed Japanese forces in the area. 

On the 18th of October the airfield was attacked by the US Navy with 24 SBD dive bombers, 12 TBF Avenger bombers and 56 escorting fighters, followed up by 30 B-24 Heavy bombers and 17 P-38 lightnings that dropped 202 1000LB bombs on the runway and dispersal areas.

It was during these raids that this aircraft was caught on the ground and damaged.





This aircraft is a good basis for a restoration project, either as a static museum piece or as a flying aircraft. the cockpit still contains most parts including the throttle, rudder bar & pedals, panel mounts etc, the main items missing are the pilots seat and control stick.

With other ongoing A6M restorations at this time there is plenty of knowledge and support out there to rebuild this piece of history to its former glory.
