I am looking fro a good source for crimping tools ( not particularly BNC ).
If anyone know of such a UK source then I would be grateful. RS list some
but I would prefer to hold them in my hands before I buy.

Make sure you spend or $$$ on any tools like that, the cheap ones
nick the braid. If you can't do it manually, then spend the money on
the right tools. When it comes to the crimper, again, spend the money,
you'll save hours of frustration. (and very often, trimming the braid
is better done with a sharp pair of nail scissors after you've half
assembled the connector, if you have to be 'sloppy' on the braid, better
it stick out the back of the connector than be too short.)
I believe airplanes are 50ohm RG-58.
(Banyan, like Banyan Vines? Ouch, that and BNC's together bring back
some bad memories.)

There are tools sold at Circuit City, CompUSA, Best Buy (Please find
European
equilvant) which will properly strip and crimp a BNC connection. You
will need
to know which size of coax cable that you are using, ie. RG-58, 59, 62,
93. I
am not for sure what size is normally used aviation use.

No, the centre pin should also be crimped onto the conductor to do the
job
properly. BNC crimping tools normally have a small hole just for
crimping the
centre conductor.
In the dim dark days of networking I used to be able to do one complete
BNC
connector every two minutes! Gets a bit boring after the 300th!!
