RAF Spitfire engine fuel priming / Wobble pump.
On aircraft with Bendix-Stromberg carburettor installation, where no electric booster fuel pump was fitted, a hand operated wobble pump is fitted. This is to ensure that there is a good fuel flow when switching between the main fuel tank and the auxiliary slipper (drop) tank and back again. On later Marks, when an electric fuel pump was fitted, the wobble pump was retained as a backup and to save the batteries during engine start up.
Seems to be working, but sold as a collectable only.
Not for sale to the EU.
