Can anyone help with 3 view drawings, scale plans or good photo’s of any of the pv series of aircraft that were built there. I have some from searching on the net. but would like better detail as i intend to build them in 1/72 scale. In particular the pv4 as i can only find a couple of images of this,.

yes done that jeepman, quite a bit of information that way, but as i say, i’m particularly interested in the pv4, as i can’t find any drawings for that aircraft.

Thankyou for that David, i don’t have either of those books to hand, but will check them out as soon as i can.

have you tried googling “Port Victoria PV” – that seemed to bring up quite a lot for all of the PV series – including 3-view drawings

You may already be familiar with this but the Air-Britain book Royal Navy Aircraft Serials and Units 1911 – 1919 by Ray Sturtivant and Gordon Page has text and photos of the PV aircraft although no plans I’m afraid. Second time I have recommended this book on this forum in the last 2-3 days! The Harleyford book Marine Aircraft of the 1914 – 1918 War by various authors also has text and photos but in addition has a three view drawing of the PV2 bis.
