    AP1086

    Hi there,

    The clue for me was the 27A/3861 Section/Reference number. This number refers to Section 27A of RAF Air Publication AP1086, which is the vocabulary of stores. Section 27A is for wheel equipment other than Dunlop.

    The second part of the 27A number, in this case 3861, refers directly to the wheel in question. Looking up reference number 3861 in section 27A comes up with the following:

    [ATTACH=CONFIG]229989[/ATTACH]

    And as can be seen the listing is for Skeeter Mark 6

    Hope that clarifies!

    Regards

    Dave

    The wheel is for Mark 6 Skeeter Main and Nose with a Palmer p/n of 922B, reference AP1086 Section 27A amended to AL206 19th Dec 1964.

    Hope that helps

    Hi there,

    Have been having a dig about and found this info on the T2 starter relay, not strictly overhaul information but it does contain servicing and testing information.

    Ap4343c Vol1 Bk2 Sec3 t2 Relay 5cw_4321

    Hope that helps

    I’ll see if I can have a dig around in AP1086 to see what I can find in there too.

    Regards

    DTD Specifications

    Hopefully this will work!

    Dtd List

    And this:

    Available DTD Documents in PDF

    Possibly the information you already have, but the DTD listing does show some replacements with British Standards that are still current. For the BS S series that are still current it may be worth contacting one of the material suppliers that deal in aerospace materials (http://www.aircraftmaterials.com/ or http://www.smithmetal.com/ but there are plenty of others out there!) failing that a direct request through BSI for the current BS specs should do the trick.

    Hopefully the above will be of use.

    Hi there,

    My copy of AP1086 Sec 27F (May 1965) doesn’t list an aircraft type against the entry for 27F/2674, only that it’s a 2inch Saunders Type Aero Fuel C0ck with p/n 216.CB.80 and has been superceeded by Ref no 2840 (which is p/n 216.CH.80 and described as multi way).

    Not too much more than you know already!

    Hi Grayson,

    Might be worth you looking here: http://www.dsgaviation.co.uk/page5.htm and clicking on the Chipmunk drawing C1-G-71 link.

    Hopefully it will contain information relevant for you, you may also find the other documents on the page useful too!

    Regards

    Hi Jim,

    Yes, that was us living in the old ‘Three Tuns’ in Holbeach Clough. Must’ve been the Chipmunk wings in the front garden that were a giveaway! Happy days!!

    Haven’t been in Holbeach for quite a while now, live and work in Norfolk.
    I’m still involving Dad in old bits and pieces but then it’s not work for him now.

    All the best

    Standard Vanguard PU

    Hi Jim,

    The picture of the Standard Vanguard PU shown in the link is one that Dad restored in the back of the K&L Aero stores in Barrington Gate in Holbeach. The picture was taken after he had sold it as when he had it the bumpers/grille/hubcaps were painted the same blue as the rest of the vehicle. The Vanguard was restored there after we had done a couple of wartime jeeps, and there was a sand coloured Vanguard outside for a while that was used as spares reclamation (still have some of them now!!).They were both rescued from a place not too far from Milton Keynes.

    Dad and Mum send their best to you from a sunny (but windy) Cromer where they are both enjoying retirement.

    In answer to your questions Jim,

    2 I don’t know I just begged money for petrol in it and it went. I only ever opened the bonnet to put oil and water in it!
