Looking for Bristol Britannia flight control details

Hello,

A bit of a long shot but does anyone have any schematic drawings for the Bristol Britannia flight controls that I could use? Specifically I’m looking for schematics showing the torque tube connections between controls and servo tabs and perhaps some images of the servo controls. I could really use some electronic scans if possible!

PM if you can help, alternatively my e-mail address is on my site (see below). Thanks!

Hi guys, thanks for the tips! I’ve now found one general view showing the control runs throughout the airframe but could use some detail drawings of the torque tubes and bevel boxes. As I only need the images to illustrate a short section of a lecture I was hoping to avoid buying complete manuals. The Britannia is a bit of an odd one out with regard to flight control connections which is why I’d like to spend a few minutes talking about it.

This guy was selling the parts manuals on CD, so chances are he still has it, he is still active selling manuals

Another Longshot, but see post 109 from 5 years back.
