Picked this pump up from Thirsk on my way to Scorton Rally on Sunday. Interesting beast and hopefully plenty of information on the nameplate for one of You "Retro-Aviation" bods to give it some history. The guy I picked it up from seemed to recall that it was originally fitted with a Villiers WX series engine. There is what appears to be a "starting-handle socket" type pulley on the "back" end of the drive shaft. It appears to have been used for pumping oil so is in excellent condition inside. It ain't arf heavy!!! Pictures at:-
