scotavia- I will see if I can find a copy of Brian Rapier’s book.

Tim- I have looked through Ron Smith’s book, & it was fairly helpfull.

The problem is that there are a number of sources, & they all seem to differ from each other on the types & numbers produced, for instance, one source says that March Jones & Cribb built 10 Snipes, another says that they completed 30+ Snipes before the contract was cancelled, & all of them were delivered to straight to store, whilst another says that no Snipes were completed by them.

I have also heard that Sheffield Simplex made some aircraft as well as aero-engines.

I spoke to some one at Peglers a few years ago, & they were convinced that the company made Camels, not Cuckoo’s :confused:.

I know that by trying to find other sources of info, will probably only add to the confusion, but there is always the chance that some one out there has cast iron proof of who made what.

If Portass made fuselages for Avro 504’s, which company would they have been made for ?.

Cheer’s.
