I recall seeing the those props being CNC machined out of huge blocks of laminated lumber while on a college field trip of the Aerospace and Telecommunications Engineering
Support Squadron (ATESS) at CFB Trenton in late 90’s.

Looks like it, but the pitch can be set at the desired angle anytime. The propblades for the A VII are a bit longer and broader at the root than normal Hally’s.

Thanks

Cheers Turretboy
MORE MORE MORE. Coming allong well. Quess you cannot get inside anymore. Model on hold until I can get shots of finished cockpit starboard wall pilots and F.E’s. Everyone update your anti virus as I have had one hell of a weekend. Picked up a brand new virus on friday 5pm by 6pm computer completely locked. Took day and 1/2 to retrieve pictures and music then had to wipe hard drive and reload everything. ARSE ARSE ARSE. Problem was anti virus had no fix as was new that day and took a day to get into computer to update. I would have been stuck but had help from a friends friends in Japan, Holland and the states. They are code writers and techies. It was far beyond me. Thanks all another couple of days and I should be up and running.

Cheers
Phil

Thanks very much Mike,

Great pics, looks like she finally has a perspex nose, I hope the deal with YAM still holds in that they would provide an example for HR792/”LV907″ as well.That would make a lot of difference compared to the distored one she is fitted with at present. How about a new set of props as well YAM?

All we need is a few large tins of Humbrol dark green/dark earth and matt black.:rolleyes:

Cheers

what are their plans for this then Cees?

Ehmm, nothing just displaying it I guess.

The search continues, but this again shows that there is more left than you know. It just takes a bit of detective work over the years, which is very enjoyable I might add and you learn more and more.

Cheers

Not from NA337, but taken recently in a French museum.
Looks restorable.

Oh if only….

Hi

Hi
turret boy. Meant trenton. Still getting over 72,0000 very very very drunk Scotsmen at the weekend so heads in a bit of a state at the moment. Any more of your super pics would be welcome. Only a few more festivals to go and I can get on with some modeling.

Cheers
Phil

Or are you talking about NA337 at Trenton?

I might be down to see her on Sunday. Maybe!
