    Hi Rob,

    Thanks for the kind words they are appreciated however I know you love the ‘lesser known’ types ;). I would like to put on record that people like David Collins and Ritch Blood have really provided support and physical assistance above and beyond the call of duty on my limited progress made to date. They are the type of people who go out of their way to assist and I for one are grateful that they do.

    Regarding a thread perhaps a bit later in the year if the trial assemblies work!

    Kind regards,

    Tim

    Mono plane,

    No not airworthy – I am afraid my skill levels are well below that :p

    I am endeavouring to replicate a small section of a Miles Martinet as my uncle flew them. It is not really to the standard seen on so many projects on this forum, I am really just plugging away to see how far I get 🙂

    Kind regards,

    Tim

    Hi Rob,

    The majority of airframes appear to have ended their days at 12 M.U. Kirkbride, 27 M.U. Shawbury, 39 M.U. Colerne and 48 M.U. Hawarden. This list is by no means exhaustive but, from my research, appear to be the main holding units for the type.

    Numerous scrap merchants reduced the airframes to produce; from memory Enfield Rolling Mills, H Bath & Son were typical.

    Thanks for the reply.

    Regards

    Jerry / Peter,

    Review the Wreckage of Lancaster ED908 thread, page three or four, discussion there on items that appear very similar.

    Hi Rob,

    Panel looking good, to assist on the dimensions, could you not get access to the FAAM example or are the layouts completely different?

    Derek,

    I gave you some ‘bum’ information the Type D was just a triple drum and brake arrangement suitable for machine gun practice. The Type E introduced the electric motor to retrieve the cable. However PM me your e-mail addy and I will send over a scan of what I have from AP1492.

    Kind regards,

    Tim

    Hello Derek,

    The Type D was an electric triple drum winch which was replaced in service by the Type E. Should have something on the D but will not be able to access my files until this evening.

    Regards,

    Tim
