Parts Needed
Every component counts
We're Looking for F-111 Parts
The Dump and Burn Project is seeking all F-111 parts, not just specific instruments or major components.
Every item has potential value. That includes cockpit instruments, switches, panels, wiring, connectors, circuit boards, lighting, controls, mechanical components, airframe sections, brackets, fasteners, ducts, fittings, covers, labels, documentation and damaged or incomplete assemblies.
Condition Doesn't Matter
Parts do not need to be serviceable. Unserviceable, removed, incomplete, unidentified or display-only items may still be useful for restoration, research, reverse engineering, testing or as patterns for replacement components.
We are also interested in spare parts from aircraft and systems that shared equipment with the F-111, including certain components used in aircraft such as the F-106 and C-141.
About This Project
This is a privately funded preservation and simulator project centred on an original F-111 crew module. The aim is to restore as much original equipment as possible and bring the cockpit back to life as a highly authentic working simulator.
Donations, gifts, technical information and introductions to former maintainers, aircrew, collectors or surplus suppliers are all welcome.
Please do not assume an item is too small, too damaged or unimportant. Even a connector, mounting bracket or unidentified component may help complete the restoration.

Top 5 Parts We Need Right Now
These are our most urgent requirements — if you have any of these or know where to find them, please get in touch.
HSI — AQU
Astronautics Corporation
Horizontal Situation Indicator. The primary navigation instrument for the F-111 cockpit. We are seeking the AQU variant manufactured by Astronautics Corporation of America.
Master Caution Indicator
The Master Caution warning panel is a critical cockpit component. Any condition considered — serviceable, unserviceable, or display-only.
Left Annunciator Warning Panel
The left-side annunciator panel housing warning and advisory lights. Essential for completing the cockpit instrument fit-out.
Mil-Spec Connectors & Looms
Any type and size
Military specification electrical connectors and wiring looms of any type and size. Circular, rectangular, coaxial — all variants welcome. Condition does not matter.
Cockpit Screws & Fasteners
Any type
Original cockpit screws and fasteners of any type. These small components are surprisingly difficult to source and are needed throughout the restoration.
US Exporters — ITAR & EAR Information
Exporting F-111 parts from the United States may involve ITAR or EAR requirements — we will help you work through the process and provide all the documentation needed to make it straightforward.
