Had to go searching for the piccie to remind myself!!
The obvious one is the large Paxolin aerofoil shaped item (Slat separator), very useful as a 'French Curve' template. The second is the white painted support for the workbench which is a welded alumunium support 'box', one of a number which supported the 'Visual' model for the original 10 Sim - (large spider and robin on the approach!!) All these supports were sent for scrap when we changed from anologue to digital display - lovely engineering. The final item would be impossible to spot - the 'Jockey wheel' on the support arm in the foreground. This was turned from a largish bar of aircraft grade steel recovered from the Brize workshops scrap bin and kept for the last 30+ years " 'cos it'll come in handy." It originated, I suspect, from one of the hydraulic components. Even on my old Myford, it turned like slicing silk! There was a lot of quality in the 10!
