For the last few months I have been plugging away at a very detailed model of the TSR 2 but a couple of areas are giving me a bit of trouble. The Areas in question are the Cumulus apu of which I have only one drawing showing the exhaust end of the unit and the engine fit on the plane, in particular the engine accessory bay for which I only have the sketchiest information. If any of the learned forumites out there could assist with either of these points I would be extremely grateful

Who designed/built the Cumulus? If it was R-R or one of the many companies absorbed by them you could try RRHT.

Although the governmint of the day ordered all technical drawings and AP’s destroyed in the 60’s one complete set did escape the furnace because some techy bod had the forthought to stash them in the rack bay behind the cockpit on the Cosford TSR2.
WE found these quite by accident when we removed the panels so we could inspect the airframe for corrosion in the early 80’s, I suppose they are now at Hendon but a phone call to the archivist at both museums may prove useful,
best regards, Terry
