Flap Position Indicator, General Electric DJ-17ABE Boeing B-50 Superfortress

This is a vintage Wing Flap Position Indicator made by General Electric Type DJ-17 Model 8DJ17ABE, as appeared in the Co-Pilot's Panel on the post WW2-era Boeing B-50D Superfortress Very Heavy Bomber. See photo of the Co-Pilots Panel of a B-50D from its flight manual, showing the position of this indicator with a red dot. Not yet confirmed, but this may have also been used on the Boeing C-97 Stratofreighter and KC-97 Stratotanker since they are brethren to the B-50 and shared many technologies.

The instrument is in exceptional condition for its age. The dial markings are clear and the glass and case are intact. See photos. This would be a very cool addition to your collection, or for that B-50 that you are building in your garage.

Tue, 22 Dec 2009

The Gemballa Enzo MIG-UI Update 12/1/2010: Gemballa have now sent us more details of the Gemballa MIG-U1 and a set of photos. Revealed is probably too strong a word, as it would appear that Gemballa are not overly keen to let anyone have any information on their Gemballa MIG-U1, a customised Ferrari Enzo created for the Gemballa Middle East Distributors the Illyas and Mustafa Galadari Group. Gemballa has taken Mustafa’s own Enzo and ‘Gemballa-ed’ it.

Fiat 500C Prices announced – and the UK gets it first!

Fri, 27 Mar 2009

Fiat has announced UK Car Prices for the 500C - and the UK is the first in Europe to get the 500C [ad#ad-1] Fiat, on something of a roll at the moment, revealed the latest version of the terrific Fiat 500 – the convertible Fiat 500C – at the Geneva Motor Show earlier this month, and has now revealed prices for the UK. The Fiat 500C will be on the roads by the Summer in the UK – ahead of anywhere in Europe, including Italy – and will no doubt prove to be as successful as its tin-topped siblings. Starting point for the 500C is £11,300, rising to £14,100 for the high-spec ‘Lounge’ version.

MINI gets a BMW 2.0 litre diesel

Sun, 03 May 2009

BMW 2.0 litre diesel in a MINI raises the prospect of a MINI John Cooper Works diesel [ad#ad-1] Just like every other car maker, MINI is trying to find a way to give their cars extra eco-kudos but still be able to deliver what their customers want. Hybrids, electric cars and other ‘eco-friendly’ options are one way to go, but diesels, with their extra torque and modern power, can deliver much of what a zippy little petrol unit can (even if they do lose some of the subtlety). So BMW are looking at ways to inject a little more economy in to the MINI Cooper, and if possible a little more power.
