Air Pictorial late 1981 or 1982

There’s a copy currently for sale on EBay for £5 if you wanted an original.

Thanks very much indeed to chaza87 for all his efforts, as a result of which I now have a copy of this article. Unfortunately, it is a pdf so I can’t post it here, but I would be happy to email it to anyone who wishes to have a copy. If you want a copy, PM me your email address and I’ll send it on. Oh, and there is an internal cabin photo which might or might not be what you need, Anon.

Hi,

Does anyone have back issues of Air Pictorial, that can help me? I’m looking for an article that appeared around September or October 1981 (although it may have been into 1982) about the use of Twin Pioneers by Ordnance survey for aerial mapping work. I’m sorry I don’t know the exact issue, but if anyone has that issue, or can point me in the right direction, I would be very grateful. Even better, if some kind soul is able to find it and scan it and either send it to me or perhaps post it on here so that it can be seen by a wider audience, that would be very much appreciated.

June 1983, p226 by Paul Tomlin finishes page 229. And would you kindly come round and help put them all back!

Yes

I have a run from 1953. I’ll have a look and let you know but it could be earlier. I’ll check from 1975 to 1985 and I’ll let you know today

RadarArchive and Anon,

Don’t know if there is anything of use for either of you in the following pdf article? It’s a detailed report on a survey carried out by Flight One’s G-AZHJ (although not for OS) –

Thanks for all the replies, guys. Any leads on the actual article, anyone?

I’d be very interested to see that article too, RadarArchive. I’m the joint owner of the cockpit from Twin Pin G-AYFA, which flew the mapping surveys along with G-AZHJ, G-BBVF and G-BCWF during the 1970’s.

There’s a paxolin fitting mounted in the forward lower corner of the side window which, I believe, was part of the mount for some sort of sight, possibly for track alignment or drift assessment. I’d like to know more about this as well, if details are there.

Anon.

Do not have the issues however several survive in museums, East Fortune GBBVF and coventry GAPRS , ex Flight One of Staverton.
