53 x 34.5cm. Original vintage FIRE GATE No 1 metal sign – Aylesbury, Buckinghamshire barn find. An unusual old British RAF access sign with painted lettering reading: FIRE GATE No 1 The sign was discovered in an old barn in the Aylesbury area of Buckinghamshire. The sign has several fixing holes and is very heavily weathered, with extensive genuine surface oxidation and rust, paint loss, pitting, edge deterioration, areas of metal loss and some bending/distortion. Despite the considerable weathering, the original FIRE GATE No 1 lettering remains clearly visible. The exact site from which this sign originally came is unknown. However, research shows that numbered “Fire Gates” were used as designated emergency access points around British airfields during the WW2 era. The fact that this example was found in a barn in the Aylesbury area is interesting because Buckinghamshire had a number of important wartime and post-war RAF/military aviation sites. Completely unrestored/as-found condition, just a light coat of oil to stop any further rust. Please examine all photographs carefully as they form an important part of the description and show the condition in detail. A very atmospheric piece of original vintage RAF interest and known Aylesbury-area barn-find provenance.

The sign itself is 12inch x 18inch (I stupidly forgot to measure the flange). The flange is still perfect to put it up with with no signs of rusted way holes ect and will securely keep the sign up without issue. By repute found under ground and was uncovered when the road was being resurfaced. The sign is a really nice bright colour but still has a bit of cleaning to do here and there (Ive only given it a quick clean to show how nice it is). Listed for what I want for it but sensible offers can be made. Please view the pictures very carefully as they form 99% of the description as they will give you the best idea of the condition and what you are purchasing if you require any more pictures or information please please ask as I prefer happy customers over unhappy customers.
