WW1 engine, instrument and parts sources

Thu Jul 23, 2009 7:48 am

Does anyone know of a good source of WW1 aircraft part sources, such as instruments and such?

Also, are there folks that specialize in rotary engines rebuilds, parts and repair?

Many thanks!

Have you talked to the guys over at Kingsbury any? They could probably give you some good leads, if they couldn't help themselves.
