Where are the accessories Aero's came with ?
I've NEVER seen a heating ring or a filter flange F** S** anywhere, auction site or else.
Why ?
Dumped ?

I'm not sure what you mean by filter flange. Aerial camera filters are usually bayonet mount and spring-loaded. I'd swear I've seen filter sets for 7"Aero Ektars, also 7 inchers with filter attached.

I don't think I've ever seen a 7 incher on offer with heating tape attached but most of the B&H 6 inchers offered have it. A couple of EKCo 6 inchers have recently come to market. They differ from the B&H versions in two ways: they have a diaphragm, the B&Hs have been fixed aperture, and they don't have heating tape.

FWIW, the 38 Biogons I extracted from AGI F135s all had heating tape wrapped around them. It was glued on.

Against this, Uran-27s and Orion (no number!) lenses on AFA-39s often have an attachment with heating wires that attach to the front.

Gosh! Not in my language either. Did you find it attached to an Aero Ektar?
