Should have asked me! They’re owned by Bae and they won’t let anyone take copies.

I tried to contact them a couple of times in the past, regarding the Woodcock/Danecock drawings, but never received a reply.

The Danish National Archives have a set of Nimrod drawings, might be worth checking with them to see if they also have Hawker Danecock (developed from the Woodcock) drawings. Both types were licence-built in Denmark.

A tasty morsel. ‘Drawings’: For technical use? Previously unknown to exist?
Please elaborate for those of us unfamiliar with little more than the term, ‘Blueprint’.

Fantastic – are they in a safe place? 🙂
