Canadian De Haviliand Mosquito Magneto Switches & Altimeter 

Up for bids are some very rare cockpit parts that were used on the Canadian De Havilland Mosquito. The altimeter is made by Kollsman and is a MK-XIVA. It has the Air Ministry mark (A.M.) and Crown and does show extremely well. This type 35,000 altimeter was also used on other high performance WWII aircraft such as the Spitfire and the Hurricane.   

The magneto switches are the long arm variety. These type switches were also used on other WWII British war planes including the Lancaster and Halifax Bombers. They are used but do show very well.

Serviceability of these items is unknown, so these parts are being sold as display items only.

******************************

Total Mosquito production was 7,781 of which 6,710 were built during the war. De Havilland Canada built 1,134 of these.

2012 SEAT Exeo get a tweak for Frankfurt

Thu, 25 Aug 2011

2012 SEAT Exeo gets the smallest of tweaks Our instinct is to call the changes to the 2012 SEAT Exeo – SEAT’s take on the Audi A4 – a 2012 facelift. But we decided there rally isn’t enough going on for that. Perhaps we should say the Exeo has had a facial peel or a bit of botox for 2012, as that seems a bit closer to the reality.
