Whirlwind fwd fuselage/cockpit drawing

Mostly for Firebex but also for those who have an interest.

Hidden away in the AVIA files at the TNA.

Nice piece of CAD work there. When do you start building the fuselage jigs, then fuselage?

Understand the first production drawings for the rear fuselage should be ready September time

Thanks Ross…

We’ve already got the full compliment of both the crash photos and the drawings – It’s worrying that data is being misplaced and are not checked that they are placed back correctly, another is that they have been mis labeled and are for all intensive purposes ‘lost’

We’re still waiting for the IWM to turn up some original RAE photos that Farnborough let them have over 10 years ago…

Hi Ross,
They are nice, but unfortunately not a new find, are the crash photos still there ?
cheers
Jerry
