This intriguing lamp incorporates part of a jet aircraft. Unfortunately, we haven't been able to pin down exactly what it is due to a lack of part numbers, although our engineers have a suspicion that it might be from Sea Harrier.

That notwithstanding, it is a fabulous design. A great addition to your living room or study and a real talking piece.

A dramatic part of British aviation history mounted on a handmade wooden plinth.

This is a very rare, substantial and unusual statement piece for the home or office. 

The Sea Fury was the pinnacle of piston powered Royal Naval aviation and traced it's lineage back through the Typhoon and Tempest. A 2500hp power house, multi-purpose aircraft that was as capable as a fighter with four 20mm cannon as it was as a bomber carrying up to two 1000lb bombs or a complement of up to 16 rockets.

Although the Sea Fury first flew in 1945, it had the misfortune to be introduced into squadron service in 1947 at a time when jet technology was coming of age. Its service life was consequently brief. It was retired from the Fleet Air Arm in 1953, but not before it had played a noteworthy role in Korea where one aircraft shot down a MiG15 jet fighter.

With a maximum speed of c.460mph and superb all-round performance, this sleek and eye catching aircraft has become an icon.

A very few remaining airworthy examples are on the display circuit or are used for racing at Reno.

615 were produced for the Fleet Air Arm with c. 250 more providing good service for the navies of  Canada, Australia and the Netherlands.

Reflecting centuries of tradition of wooden ships in the Royal Navy, ships which helped to create the world's biggest empire, these coasters allude to the modern position where aircraft, rotary and fixed wing, form an integral part of our modern maritime fighting force.

Made from finest oak.

Felt reverse for surface protection.

With all their noise and power, jet engines are awesome and dramatic. They can be just as awesome and dramatic after they have ceased in their primary role. This unusual lamp was once the flame tube from a Rolls Royce military jet engine.

Flame tubes allow fuel to be injected into the high pressure air and be completely burned before entering the turbine. Without flame tubes, there would be no place for fuel combustion to take place.

This example has been carefully polished, mounted on a hand turned wooden base and fitted with a low energy bulb. Perfect for some atmospheric lighting and very rare.

Great lighting and great talking piece and you can be sure that your neighbours won't have one.

For Star Wars fans, you may wish to checkout IG-88, the assassin droid in The Empire Strikes Back, whose head bears a remarkable resemblance to a flame tube!

N.B. Designs may vary very slightly from illustration.

Some rare items from a rare aircraft. Carefully set on a handmade oak stand are a retaining ring (from the undercarriage), a brake pad and some sections of tubing to act as pen holders.

All are from the spares collection for Sea Vixen XP924 and form an unusual, attractive and very practical desk ornament.
