Fitters notes from Malta WW2

The roundel descriptions were A, A1, etc, rather than the other way around, and didn’t go as high as 2. I understood that the author of this very convenient system was Bruce Robertson, perhaps a historian rather than a modeller (although I’m not saying he didn’t make models, or bias at least some of his writing to the modeller).

He mentions the use of non ferrous screws. The note on BR130 ends with it was sent to Kala (Kalafrana) for completion.

Here is a typical page from the book, recording the work on BR130, see https://drive.google.com/file/d/0B6jc5S3qLM_gaUlUczFnWk55Zlk/view?usp=sharing .

Thanks, I see.

Roundel descriptions like 1a, 2c etc were an after the fact post-war invention by the spotter and modeler xx – insert name when I remember…

EDIT – Ian Huntley?

Agree with the reference to 1C and 2C.
I don’t go back that far but still have my note books as an idiots guide for jobs on Hastings, Beverleys and C130s, made life a lot easier.
Note books also gave hints to the good bars down route!

First guess is that the 2C, or 1C reference is the 2BA screw length used to fit those panels.
