As there are still a number of Harvards around there must have been more than a few pilots who didn’t manage to destroy their aircraft, as the Blue Max said, it’s not compulsary!

I didnt mean anything to be taken for Gospel, but I was always told by the powers that be ‘that if it hasnt happened it will’. My Harvard time is very limited (35 hours) and only from the backseat, so perhaps I wasnt the best person to make a comment like that.

Apologies,

Martin

Thats FT375 shown in the photo. Sold at a Sotherby’s Auction in the 90s and now I believe living in Italy. KF183 is still based at Boscombe Down with the A&AEE (or whatever its called these days).

As to the dreaded groundloop….well it happens at one stage or another in everyone’s Harvard careers. I have witnessed it first hand from the backseat on a number of occasions.

Just a few screenshots to prove that not everyone flies airliners…..

Further down in the South West, I can remember a Bell 47 cropspraying at Callington in the early 1980s and a Pawnee used to operate out of a field in the village in which I live circa 1980-81.

Can’t really answer your question but hope this helps and looking at the photos it does appear as if they split top and bottom. Balliol at Cosford.

Brian,

Thank you so much. Just what I needed. Looking at the photos, I too agree, it does look like they split. Reason I was asking is that a friend is building a version for the Microsoft Simulator and this was the only area in which he was unsure as to the aircraft’s construction.

Thanks once again.

Best wishes,

Martin

I understand that fs 2004 is mostly an airline simulator but I thought maybe a new massive photo thread for those of us that like to manualy handle our planes 😉

Nice pictures…not a GPS or autopilot in sight 🙂

Phil,

Sorry for the delay, been away in Mid Wales (not one aeroplane in sight!). AOP.9 can be obtained from http://www.flightsim.com and the 5 in which I was trying to formate in, is available from most other freeware download places.

Now, the flightmodel is very inaccurate, but a few kind gentlemen have sent me a more refined version and one which mirrrors the fullsize one nicely. So if you need this (or anyone else out there) PM me and I’ll send it out as an email attachment.

Trying to get the builder to do a Boulton Paul Balliol next.

Best wishes,

Martin

Robs was very much involved with the ‘Fighter Wing Display Team’ (remember that?) and from memory had Harvard G-BGPB, a Yak-11 and the Staggerwing on strength, later joined for a little while by the aforementioned HA.1112.

Earlier he was an owner of Harvard Mk.IIB G-BBHK which I believe is now at Kemble.

Was G-AMMS the one that the comedian Jimmy Edwards used to own? I seem to rememeber seeing it at Squires Gate (Blackpool) in the late 50s. And G-ALFA is for sale on http://www.thehangar.co.uk

Yes, you’re right G-AMMS was owned by Jimmy Edwards. She is now based at Eggesford in Devon (having first flown after a lengthy rebuild last summer), but is currently on loan to a person at Leicester. I’ve been lucky enough to have flown in her on a number of occasions and it must be one of the more famous Austers built. Everywhere it goes, people remember it as the example that was flown at the Farnborough Airshows in 1950 and 51.

This photo is very interesting as it shows a scheme that we havent seen before. Of particular interest is the top most part of the fin which appears to be white or grey. Different to say the least.

I dont think FS is advanced as engine torque, though i maybe wrong.

Atreaus, do you use any sort of weather program, if so itll be the wind knocking you.

Torque can be controlled by the settings of FS2004. For better realism, its best to have all the sliders over to the right.

Its meant to be a ‘simulator’ and therefore simulate flight and so I would have thought that what we all want is for the software to mirror what it is like in real life. I suppose if one flew with no wind available and an easy flight model, then the aeroplane would go straight down the middle. But I cant see the point of that (just my opinion).

Auster AOP.9 WZ662 (the prototype) which was at the Museum, is now airworthy and based at Eggesford in Devon. Its up for sale if anyone is interested 🙂
