I am trying to locate drawings for Bulkhead No 2 on the Vampire T11 as I’m building a replica pod. I am given to understand that drawings for this aircraft are not held in any official collection. I just need enough information to produce an accurately dimension template of the outline.
Anyone able to help?

The Bournemouth Aviation Museum are restoring their T 11 at the moment, and as they were built down the road in Christchurch maybe they have drawings? There are contact details in the link;

“Pilot Checklist, Flight Instructors Handbook, T11 Repair and Maintenance Manual, T11 Full Manual” are not likely to contain dimension-ed drawings as hoped for by Kevin H. Perhaps the Salisbury Hall museum have copies of the manufacturing drawings. Not that their website gives any hint of an accessible archive.

Yes, but what you are missing is
Still to come….Pilot Checklist, Flight Instructors Handbook, T11 Repair and Maintenance Manual, T11 Full Manual and more.

So email him / her and ask if he has a part of the manuals that covers it.

There is tons of useful stuff on that site but nothing with dimensions that I can find sadly.

Neither source was any help with measurements sadly.

Kevin H.
Although I doubt it will be exactly what you want, you may find some useful information in the type’s AP volume 6.
