Free to enter subscriber competition! Subscribe, leave a comment, and the winner will be announced at the end of November 2025
Enter this competition to win a genuine WW2 gun air pressure gauge, most likely from a P-47 Thunderbolt aircraft. Its estimated age is 1943 - ‘45, seen in a standard wartime finish, featuring a radium lume. As the video below shows, this is a radioactive gauge that measures approximately 50,000 cpm / 26 µSv/h on my Radiacode.

The winner will be randomly selected on Saturday 29th November and contacted via email. I will pay for postage (which I may live to regret!) and the gauge will be packaged safely.
I’m running this competition as I need to downsize my collection, thought this would be a fun test to convince you lovely people to subscribe, and to give this to someone who enjoys spicy vintage items. If this is successful and fun, then I will run more competitions in the future. If you have any questions, just comment on this post and I will reply.
