De Havilland Aircraft Drawing Office Handbook

Thanks Terry. Much appreciated.

Thank you for your work in making this stuff available to us. Here, attached, is one you might like.

I bet there is so much of it that we don’t even know about…

Nicki, Completely agree with you.

The 1911-22 Aeroplane CD are still on sale too; but can be found for FREE from another website. They are selling exact copies of the Smithsonian documents. 

I can’t say there is anything illegal going on here, but I think it is a bit rude!

These are the manuals that I have scanned and provided free of charge. If you or your friends are thinking of buying – don’t waste your money.

I still have plenty to upload – just juggling priorities. There are more on my site than when I started this thread.

Enjoy!

Thanks for the feedback. : – )
When I started at Hawker de Havilland at Bankstown in 1991 the tooling group were still using the litho process to print from mylars to make templates. When the place was closed down in 2013, the ‘lofting table’ as we called it, was still there and I was just thinking that it would be wonderful if somebody actually wanted it AND had the means etc. I wanted it but it was too big for me! I don’t know what happened to it. There were a number of disposal auctions during the shut-down period and I only went to one of them.

Great document, thanks.

Wow!

That is a gold mine of useful information you have on your site. So nice of you to allow free access to it.

Thank you.

Thanks from me too – very interesting to know that DH also used the lofting on sheet metal plates & litho process – I worked in the Vickers Weybridge Mould Loft in 1959/60 where they used a similar system, but were gradually moving over to plastic film & a photo print process for detail parts & some assembly drawings during 1960.
