Feeling Tyred ;)

Hope to be there tomorrow for my first day back in many many months so will get some updated pics.Im not sure what Jack is doing with his spares but can ask.

Hi Ross

Just bumping this thread in the hope that you may have some more photo’s on the progress of Jack’s Demon, and to ask if you’ve had a chance to see if he has any spare bits that he might be willing to part with.

Hi Ross

Does Jack still have the many spare fuselage etc joints that he acquired some years ago, & if so, would any of them be available ?.

Bob T.

Hi Bob yes there are boxes full of extra stuff but will have to check if they are available.Been unwell with anxiety this last week to do much at all.

I thought Jack’s Demon was further along that this, as I saw a photo of the fuselage in a hangar some years ago & it looked fairly complete.

It was 🙂 Due to being near the coast a lot of the untreated aluminium tubes and bits and pieces had started to really suffer with corrosion.Our Project leader decided it prudent we do a full tear down to arrest the current and future corrosion problems.Plus it gave us a chance to Bling up all those lovely stainless pieces 🙂

Hi Ross

Thanks for the photo’s & info. As I am a Hawker Biplane junky, I have been having severe withdrawl symptom’s due to the lack of supply, so you have given me my much needed fix of Hawker biplane :D.

I will ask Mrs Tangmere to look in the stores stock list when she is at her place of work in a certain historic aircraft restoration facility later today. Will PM you. 😉

Project is owned by Jack McDonald from Australia..It has been on the back burner for many many years but now he has decided to give it a good push..I post some updates here on the Australian Warbirdz forum..

Thanks Oxcart will let the powers that be know 🙂

Guy Black had to have a batch of tyres made for Hawker biplanes. (I just read it, I don’t know the gentleman, unfortunately!)

Hi Ross

Can you please let us know the history of this Demon, & post a few more photo’s of the project ?.

Cheer’s.

Bob T.

Thank you muchly..Not much of a demand for aircraft of such rarity but will ask 🙂

Ross,
My answer to most tyre questions is DESSER. Have you checked with them? I believe they supply most of the warbirds flying today. They’ll even consider a limited production run if they think the demand is there.

Noone?Will be a pity to see this beauty with its @rse dragging in the dirt.:love-struck:
