Where To Source Drop Tanks

[TheDetailDoctor]

I'm trying to get a couple of aircraft drop tanks, under 10' long.

Where would be a good place to find some for sale??

Vietnam?

Postage may be expensive......

Could give these a ring - if they can't they may know who can..

See if you can get someone to drop them off

There were a couple on eBay a few months ago, I thought about turning them into bookshelves. A museum oop north is also selling a fuselage section from an old Hawker. Might be worth dropping them a line.

As a matter of interest what do you want them for?

Maybe he wants to increase the range on his Fiat.

Good idea if all your books have concave undersides!

Now if you could turn a bookshelf into a drop-tank that'd be impressive...

These drop tanks...

Might one ask why..?

Easy job. Stand tank on end, cut out front, insert shelving made from various aircraft bracketry, polish.

Initially it's to make a raft from, after the event I'm considering building something.......
