Thanks for the pics & link chaps 🙂

I for one, really want to talk to the mechanics, fitters, carpenters, and electricians that server on these types, because being an engineer myself I find more common experience, or useful information can be shared.

… very nice lathe though! Have you tried the RAF Museum department of Records for any references of workshop equipment? Or maybe the Public Records Office for any War Department, or subsequent Ministry of Supply records?

Cheers,

I’m in SoCal so dropping by the Records Dept isn’t an option until I pop home to Blighty. Last time I was there was ’91.
Where was the machine shop at Dx? assuming they had one.. part of the tech site behind the hangars maybe?
