Yes, Peter, we are talking to Nanton. Nanton suggested that we go to Calgary and get copies of their drawings rather than getting copies of the Nanton set.
We are awaiting the cost from Calgary to copy everything and ship it to us.
Regarding propellors: there were three there today, two fixed pitch wood and one variable pitch with wooden blades, I suspect that it was not from an Anson unless it was a Mk V.
There is just not the enthusiasm to restore an Anson that there was to restore a Halifax! Progress is slow and the number of volunteers is significantly less.
The two fixed pitch props are most likely made by S & S
The variable pitch will be a Hoover Hydromatic prop , I have two in my collection. I have seen pics of them on Ansons but I think they were not as common
The early Ansons also used pixed pitch metal Fairy Reed props of which I have 3 of in my collection.
Also I confirm that Harvard 3270 was the one that Ken Gamble and I had .
When Ken passed , I sold it to a guy from Fla. but he decided to sell it because he coiuld not get it home.
We ended up dealing for him and thru further deals it ended up at Trenton.:)
I still have some original parts from it and offered them to the Museum a few times but they never got back to me:confused:
