Re: SER1 Which winch

Matt,

I'm sure, but not positive, usually because Aeroparts will fit all Series
Land Rovers...Series Two/Three had Fairey then Mayflower type winches and
then  90 and 110's had a later variation of the Mayflower type mounted on a
sort of bull bar space frame.

As I recall, Aeroparts packed up in the early 1970's. One guy who was one of
their design draughtsmen (can't remember his name and he has since died)
bought out the patents and manufacturing rights and in a Unit in Hereford
together with a local foundry, carried on making them and further developed
some hydraulic versions and other equipment. I have one of his versions. I
went to his house to collect and pay for it. These were identical apart from
a smaller bollard to give a greater pull and a different rope guide bar
(like the Fairey/Mayflower). I also obtained a new but old style bollard off
him for authenticity and bought a set of cast brackets off the Series One
club many years ago when a batch was made.

Cheers
Martin
