nose cones

Hi
part of the drawing mentioned at the PRO, not posted fully here to avoid any copyright issues.
note the drawing of the back portion of the nose cone does not have the bumps as in the photos in this thread, so it is a different nose cone.
a discussion on another board suggested that the nose cone in the photos, could be a PR whirlwind nose cone, possibly explaining the bulges, being re-used by westlands for the cannon project, which explains it well I think.
it does seem to be the same nose cone for both single cannon and four abreast.
I have somewhere a front view of the four cannon fit, and it shows the ‘non straight line arrangement’, outer two cannon ‘a few inches lower than the inner two, a nose camera in the cone and the bulges very clearly i will try to locate it.
cheers
Jerry
