GAFFERS TAPE IS WONDERFUL

Below is a quote from Kev 35, taken from an earlier thread.

And a photo of same aircraft in better times, early 1936 at Shaiba.

G-AAUD was named Hanno and G-AAXE was named Hengist. ‘XE was caught in an airship hangar fire at Karachi on 31/5/37 and was destroyed. ‘UD was impressed into RAF service on the outbreak of war and was destroyed at Whitchurch Bristol Airport on 19/3/40 when during a gale, the aircraft was blown together with another HP42, G-AAXC Heracles. ‘XC was also destroyed as a result of this incident.

Does’nt that rear fuse repair to join with the forward section look well, that new silver gaffer tape really does the job
