RAF Drinks Cabinet

Now repurposed into a vertical RAF Drinks Cabinet, it was previously a 5m long refueling pod and weighed in at a 600kg.

Despite having been cut down even as a drinks cabinet this is still a significant piece and therefore a logistical challenge in it’s current form.

But with a little more conversion this could be a great drinks cabinet, storage unit or garden ornament.

We’ve always thought this should be a polished chrome drinks cabinet but would involve some serious work extracting the polishing the metal and installing lighting and shelves on the interior.

Even in it’s current form it’s a great talking point and creates a lot of interest.

Around 2000mm tall and 1000mm wide and weighing ~30kg these are a fantastic piece of RAF history.

Our aim at GB Salvage is to create stunning industrial furniture made with parts from planes, boats, subs and heavy industry.  This aim inevitably means we buy a lot of stock that is very time consuming and costly to convert into finished furniture.  Therefore in this category you will find parts and components.   You can then ask us to convert these items for you or we’ll happily help you do it.  Alongside rusty parts we haven’t yet had time to convert, you’ll also find our finished projects.  We have a range of beautiful seats, tables and mirrors.

We hope that showing our raw materials will help inspire project and furniture ideas you’ll want to discuss. As you’ll see we also sell the components ready for conversion.

Under certain circumstances, we also offer a rental service for film companies, sets, props and one off events.  So please get in touch if you’d like to come and see all our stock and discuss a project.

A range of military parts sourced from the MOD ranging from a small cog right up to missile bases, bombs and 6m long fuel tanks. We focus on British military goods but do occasionally find foreign military pieces of interest. And we also specialise in modern era militaria but do have the odd antique gunsight for example on offer.

We convert and restore every item we can but occasionally have to offer our components for sale to generate space.  Therefore in this section you’ll find items we haven’t yet got to.  We’d love to discuss your project idea and can convert items to your specification.  We undertake work for private and commercial clients.
