A P2V Neptune nose turret has been spotted for sale. The listing states (in part):
Please Note: This is an archived post. The information presented here may not be current and the associated listing may no longer be active.
Aero 9 nose turret as flown on the P4M Mercator and P2V Neptune. Originally fitted with twin 20mm cannon. This is an Aero 9C from a Neptune, and I believe this turret was never installed on an aircraft as it still retains part of the shipping cradle.
Exterior needs new paint as it has a bit of shop rash from being moved around for more than 70 years. Currently all original with original interior and exterior paint. Comes with Mk 10, Mod 0 gunsight, new pitot tubes, and spare glass (starboard side is currently out of the turret). On a stand for ease of movement.
The nose section is located in Stockton, California and is currently open to offers / bids. Click here to check out the eBay listing, which includes additional photos.

Air World and Dilip Sarkar (MBE FRHistS FRAeS) will soon introduce their new 328 page book A Spitfire’s Story: The Invisible Thread: Spitfire R6644 and the Pilots Who Flew It
Supermarine Spitfire Mk.IA R6644 was built at Woolston and test-flown by Jeffrey Quill on 30 May 1940 before joining 5 Operational Training Unit at Aston Down, where it trained pilots including likely Richard Hillary and at least two aces among “The Few.” In February 1941, it transferred to 65 Squadron, flown by ace Paddy Finucane, then to 308 (Polish) Squadron in April. On 11 May 1941, Polish pilot Franciszek Surma abandoned R6644 near Malvern due to an engine fire during a radar intercept of a friendly Blenheim, parachuting safely before his later death over Dunkirk.
This book not only explores the men who flew R6674 throughout its wartime service, but also brings the story up to date by detailing the excavation of the Spitfire’s crash site in 1987.
The book is currently available for pre-order with release set for December 31.
