Andy,
I have said box for the dual SU's on my Herald. It's labeled Spitfire
with that yellow junkyard pen they use for parts. I assume it came from
the same junkyard the rest of the motor came from. Can't say for sure
it's not from England, but that's a mighty long way from here. Is it
rare or valuable??? I can tell you it's nearly impossible to find an
aircleaner that fits it, I never have.
