I have acquired a Douglas genset (engine No FT35/1/2235 and I'm looking for some information about it e.g. year etc. I understand it was originally used in WW2 on a RAF base and was used to start aircraft. It was used more recently to power a small engineering workshop.
I am thinking of selling it and wondered if anyone on the forum would be interested? It looks to be mainly original although the magneto has been swapped out / converted to coil ignition (sadly I do not have the original magneto). It has compression albeit quite low approx. 60PSI (not sure if that's normal for this engine) it holds the pressure OK. It's not running as I do not have the time or knowledge to attempt to get it running. 
Any thoughts with regards to its value would also be appreciated.  I have attached some photo's (it's on a wooden crate to make it easier to photograph) that shows its condition and the fact that it's complete with starting handle, carburettor, fuel tank, exhaust and rather substantial base... It's located in Hampshire near Andover.
