Gloster's F9/37 Cannon Armed Twin…

Hi Stuart

Im not aware of any detailed drawings, but the Rolls-designed Peregrine nacelle for the F9/37 was tunnel tested in 1938 in the full size tunnel at Farnborough. The report survives in the NA (ref. DSIR 23/6911) and I seem to recall it contained a GA drawing of the nacelle, but nothing on the engine installation (since I’d assume there was no engine actually installed).

There are drawings around of the F9/37 in one of the old Aircraft Illustrated’s and also in Grangers ‘Interceptor’

Hi
Think there was something in an profile publications magazine.
[not the old profile series], (they did one on the whirlwind as well)
The guy who did the F9/37 1/72nd resin ‘magna models’ may have info.
Don’t recall seeing anything at the PRO/NA.
cheers
