Oil Tank

Vickers Machine Guns - made 25 years ago from original drawings, in metal but not operational. 

Engine                                                                 Rotherham Air Pump

Yes, this really is an original French built 1917 Le Clerget 9ba rotary engine which has never been fitted to an aircraft and only bench run.

The Rotherham Air Pump is used to pressurise the fuel system to around 2 psi.  Only the oil reservoir instruction plate and propeller fixing were missing.  The plate has been done. The standard pumps didn't have an oil reservoir.  This one does.
