Barn find help. Spitfire seat???

Im glad you agree! But Peter did revela tha the holes were for the stowage of signal cartridges.

Actually I did!
The pistol was carried in the bracket that can be seen on the right hand side of the seat, above the height adjstmant lever.
Glad to see that you're getting results 'over there' Maghaberry:)

is this seat for sale? would be interested. and if the top cowling turned out to be spitfire would be interested aswell.

Hi the seat is for sale, we are trying to avoid ebay due to fees and postage problems ect. If anyone is interested please PM me asap as im getting a list of all interested to pass on to the owner. Buyer must be able to pay and colect the seat in person.
There has been alot of interest on other forums and a fair few chancers (offers of £50-£250) but the current offer stands at £5000 and some people have mentioned £10k but have yet to put their money where their mouth is.
There has also been interest from America and Europe (mainly Germany) but due to postage concerns the owner wants the item colected.
Anyway anyone interested send me your details via u2u and i will see what i can do.
Thanks

It is amazing what can turn up!!

Found this part now too

Indeed, it actually looks like the heat exchanger ducting for the interior heater from a VW Beetle..

Are those holes really for the stowage of signal cartridges??? I ask as they look to me as if theyd be difficult to get hold of when needed, especially when strapped in, also isnt there a real possiblity of them falling out and trapping control cables????
