Always heart breaking going through a love ones stuff. It might help the record and film, the collection, then you can show the pictures and film to ya dad and get him to talk about them to you (he'll enjoy it much as you). Wishing you, Debs and family ,and everyone here , a happy new year.

Brilliant idea. This is just the sort of thing to keep you Dad on form , he'll love it and so will I.

Hello John, I would be very interested to see more of your Dad's aero engines... many moons ago I used to calibrate fuel pumps for gas turbine engine for the MOD... goodness me that was a lifetime ago. Take care Paul,,

Do not remove! That's a invitation to people like us. Great video John, take care of your dad's thing's he spent a lifetime collecting them. Best wishes, from Kentucky.

Boil it in water to kill the rust and keep the finish. John Knibbs should be able to supply parts. Happy New Year!

I would love to see more of your Dad's kit m8, just this year i restored a full sized Macauley propeller, it's about 6 feet across and made from aluminium, the whole thing has been polished to a mirror finish, 3 blades and the spinner(cone) :-)

Although I've never had a model airplane I've always found those little engines fascinating, so I think it would be cool if you continued sharing the collection over time. I feel for you, it's hard to clean out a loved one's home.

that old air pistol is very high quality,, way back when I was a kid they use to advertise Webley revolvers in gun magazines, I always wanted to get one , I think it was something like .455 ,not sure, but I think it was about .45 caliber.. they were cheap back then around 35.00 but then they had many great guns in those magazines and they were cheap,, then came the 68 gun laws and all that went away.

I inherited my grandads Webley pistol exactly the same as the one being worked on. It's still boxed and like new. My grandads brother brought it back with him after being away on the cargo ships. At least I know what one looks like in bits. All the best 👍🏻

When I was a kid we always had airguns around. We found that if you fired an airgun without a pellet in (which kids often did) it would sometimes shatter the mainspring just like this one

Also notice that it's soaked in oil, so it has been dieseling, a sure way to break the piston or the spring. Main spring should be greased

John, I've been a control line and rc modeller for over 55 years so I'd love to see more of your dad's model collection.

@@KozmykJ Mine was a flying wing for combat flying built from plans with a PAW (progress aero works) 2.5cc diesel engine. We made our own diesel fuel in those days, equal measures of castrol R racing oil, ether, paraffin and if we could persuade the chemist a few drops of amyl nitrite but usually he would only sell us amyl nitrate which meant we lost quite a lot of rpm on the top end. We'd probably get arrested now if we tried to buy that stuff now. Hope John can give us a good view of his dad's model collection, those Taplin motors are a thing of beauty and I for one would love to hear and smell them running. 👍

Somewhere amongst my stuff I've got my Dad's old .22 Webley Hurricane. His isn't '40s though, more like '60s or '70s. Great to see an old Taplin Twin again. I had an 8cc watercooled one when I was a lad in the 60s. It was a Beast !! Gawd knows what the 15cc one was like to use ...

Gday John, all the very best for the new year, I’d really enjoy seeing more of your Dads collection, the pistol certainly is quality not like the shit you get nowadays, cheers Matty

Hi John, I can't believe it, the very same pistol I used to shoot with when I was 16 yrs old (not an alien)! If you want any of it chemical blacked, send it to me and will happily do it for you. Cheers, Jon

Hi there The endplugs on Webley pistols are usually chewed because people try unscrewing them not realising that they have a rivet to stop them coming unscrewed accidentally!! Also, The barrel pivot is normally used to unscrew the forent!, Lovely old pistols, I think I have around 15 of them at the moment! Great video- enjoyed it muchly! 👍🙂

I've just striped and repaired my late father in laws Senior pistol, its a keeper for life, there are still some old new stock parts available.

Dropping off something like that, I thought MY neighborhood was interesting! ...If Dad likes to see others enjoy bits of his collection, then you're in a great position to spread smiles across both sides of the lens.

I have a similar webly I was given by my Grandfather while I visited him in the Netherlands sometime in the 70's. It's a .22 and has never been particularly powerful. It too is not "catching" but is in pristine condition with the original box. I will be watching what you come up with! A very happy and healthy new year to you as well sir. Being a Yank, I'm still learning to understand you. I love your videos, thank you.

Sold all my model engines years ago, it would be good to see your Dad's collection I have the same air pistol but the 22 version, I bought it new in 1977 when I was 14, not many checks in those days

Definitely show the engines John, really interesting and I'm sure I won't be the only one who appreciates them. I bet I could hear that pulse jet from Newcastle to Birkenhead!

Congratulations Bruce!! Enjoy your prize. And beat wishes to John and Debs for the New Year. Thoughts are with you, and hope your Dad does well. Would really love to see more of of your Dad's aero engines.

I'd love to see more of your dad's collection Jon.

I would first degrease everything with soap & water, then let all the parts sit overnight in Evapo-Rust or a similar rust converter product, then brush with a nylon bristle brush to remove the black Evapo-Rust by product. Once you have reached that stage, I would re-evaluate to determine how to proceed. The last thing I would use is any abrasive material until I could see the true condition of the Webley.

Hey John, prayers and thoughts going out to your dad, you and your family. I wish him well in the new arrangement. I would enjoy seeing more of his collection. Thanks for sharing your videos, keep them coming. Take care and best wishes.

I would love to see more of the collection, please.

Sorry to hear about your dad. Yes, to the aero engines, I hope you keep the pulse jet.

Thanks for the tip about the pop rivet “punch “, that will be most useful Sorry about your dad, unfortunately there is a time when we have to go through someone’s prize possessions and decide what will be kept Best wishes from Australia

Lovely stuff John, big love to your dad, and keep the model engine stuff coming

I would love to see your dad’s aero engine collection. Great video as usual, thank you for sharing with us.

Very interesting air pistol, looks to be well made.

It must be great to have your dads engines, etc, "a man after my own heart". Happy New Year to you too and viewers : ).

All the best in the New Year John! Health, Happiness and Prosperity!

Nice video John. Great stuff. Thank you for sharing.

Interesting john, iv got my grandfathers old identical webbly and still use it!

I hope your Dad settles into his new place well, I'd love to see more. If you fire that pulse jet up, make sure to do it sight of his window 😁 I bet he'd love to see/hear it run! All the best John

As it has a bronze piston ring it is a pre war model but with the post war grips. The grips quite often get replaced. I have quite a few of these.

I would love to see more model engines, I grew up as a kid shooting a Wembley mk II air rifle. These days the swat team would be looking for you.

very good! thanks for posting.😀

If you ever start that pulse jet engine, be sure it's firmly strapped to something that does not burn, and wear hearing protection. All desire to own one disappeared the first time I saw one running.

John, Yes to more model aero engines

Congratulations Bruce. Always difficult to appraise/sort a family members items John. A farters paradise, ref Tier 4 workshop. Great vlog John, just the ticket for a fresh first Sunday in 2021. Thanks for sharing.

Amazing stuff

Happy new year bonnie lad! Hope your old man is ok. Those air pistols show up quite regularly in SC-FI with the most recent being the Star Wars series of The Mandalorian. It's surprising how little they actually do to them to appear as a futuristic blaster pistol lol.

Thanks John A|l the best for 2021

Happy new year to you and all your family hope all goes well for your dad in 2021

Nice collection of engines. Could well be nice to see a few running especially the pulse jet. They will make good money as well if you decide to sell them.

Yes a look at a vintage aero engine collection would be intresting. A look through your dads vintage aero engine collection would be vey intresting . Because I'm sure he's sharp like you are . And that pulse jet I find very intresting Those dents in the combustion chamber area probly help the "stainless" deal with the expansion. And that pellet pistol WOW! Get a cheap like crossman rifle barrel and expieriment with length / velocity/ volume a wood dowel and wad and a marking pen to find ther twist rate of the one you have. Rust removal / manganese oxide/ Iron filings from an old crankshaft/ for the blueing heck with patina that thing needs to look new and work even better with a two stage trigger

Love skiing your dads collection. Jim

Yes the spring got stretche'd and then they snap just like this one.

John, please show us more of your dads aero engines. A good new year to you

Interesting video John. You said your dad was a modeler. Did he do machinist work or build any of his own engines? It is obvious to see where you got your interest in things mechanical 😊 Happy New Year to you and your family John. Wishing you all the best! Norm in Arizona

John you have to get that pulse jet running ;)

It's always sad to see the things that people collected through their lives and try to find a home for them.

very good

Definitely please include a few of the engines each week, or just do a complete video. Must be a fortune to be had there, maybe do a sale video.

It says “ do not remove” , so I’ll have to try and remove it! Ha! Love it!

Webley, the name in British handguns. That is a right proper air gun.

I have a Webley MK V1 .455 caliber shaved cylinder to use .45 acp.. Love to shoot it with lead loads....Cheers. Mike

Don't use emery or reblue it. Fine steel wool and oil if needed.

T.W. Chambers sells all sorts of parts for these old air guns John.

Engines are good

A knaaa his brotha- Shields Piers.

Still makes me cringe when you look down the barrel, even though the spring is out! Best wishes for 2021!

Check out anvil on KZread. Loads of stuff on restoring finishes without devaluing the gun.
