In order to illustrate an article I am writing, does anyone have, and are willing to entrust to me, any relatively recent (by which I mean, say, taken in the last fifty years) photographs of the following aero engines:
ABC
Aero Syndicate
Anzani
Bacher & Hellow
Blackburne
Douglas
Green
Levis
J A Prestwich
Saroléa
Scott
I appreciate that it is likely that examples of many of the engines listed probably are not now extant. But because, unlike vintage aircraft, there is not, to the best of my knowledge, a comprehensive and reliable list of ‘vintage aero engine survivors’, it seems sensible for me to ask – even if it is more in hope that expectation!
I am not troubled whether photographs show the engine mounted on an airframe or dismounted, but if the former then they need to be with the engine cowlings open or removed in order to show the engine because it is the engines, and not the aircraft, which are the focus of my article.
I am not looking for period photographs of engines or photographs from copyright sources. Naturally any photographs that I use to illustrate the article will be appropriately credited.
The reason why I am making this request through this medium is that I am not now UK resident, and visit the country infrequently, and most of these engines either are or are likely to be in the UK.
Finally I offer my thanks in anticipation of assistance from forum members.

I’ve now made contact, outside the forum, with Terry and Paul. My thanks to all who have been instrumental in facilitating that.

Gentlemen as I have a website that is already visible via my user name – could it help if I act as postmaster for you both ? If you make contact I can put you both in direct contact.
Sorry AA it is a few years since we last spoke by email about the Breguet so I am not sure if your emails is still the same.
Sorry, Brian (have I remembered the name correctly?). Initially I missed your post of yesterday with the kind offer to act as a ‘middle man’. I’ll contact you, via your website, with my e-maill address. Hopefully Paul (doughnut2020) will do the same, with his e-mail address, and you will then be so kind as to supply each to the other.
Paul, we seem to be following each other on flickr but I cannot find a way to make contact with you via that website. If it’s possible and you know how to do so, please let me have your e-mail address via that medium and I’ll then contact you via that.

Paul, I’ve endeavoured to make contact with you via flickr. Please let me know if it works.
Dhfan, if what you say is correct it seems, to me, to be yet another example of how dysfunctional this forum and website now is!

It looks to me like it’s probably around 200 posts needed for PMs – to “new” members.
It’s not an exhaustive search but I haven’t seen a PM button for anybody with fewer than 200 except one with only 16 posts, but a member for 14 years plus.

AA Not sure how the PM system works / does not work not seeing any buttons ? Expect our paths have crossed before as DOUGHNUT and CADman has lived on this Forum for many years. Try connecting to me through Flickr, you should be able to view and contact me it even if your not a member. www.flickr.com/photos/133568726@N02/albums/72177720300513444

I’ve deleted the word that first I wrote and I’ve replaced it with the more polite ‘blimey’! Thank you. For me your offer is, Paul, rather like Christmas coming early!
I’d happily send you a PM but, it seems, like Terry Parker you don’t seem to have the PM facility available to you. I don’t know what is the post count threshold to qualify for it but I must presume that you have not yet reached it. Thus I can’t send a PM to you. Can you send one to me?
AA
