I did most of this many years ago for someone who was supposedly modelling a Whirlwind for a flight sim programme – was it you, and if so, what became of the project, as it all went very quiet?
My God, yes it was me, although I was not the modeller, I was the scrounger that was collecting the info to make the model for the flight sim… 😉 It all went quiet because the chap making the model chucked the whole project, and knowone else wanted to take it over as they were all to busy with their own projects. I found out later it was not made in the correct manner to import it into the sim, so in fact it was worthless… Sigh!
Then to cap it all some little ******s decided to break in and steal thecomputers and the backups I had made with all the scanned data, which included unfortunately your list and your email and everyone else that was involed with the project… 😡 Gutted is not the word that could describe how I felt then, lucky for me they left the original papers alone 😉
The Police never got the thieves or my computers back, but by then it was to late to find another modeller to start over. So after a while I started scanning it all over again and eventually found another modeller who had already started to make the Whirlwind. The exterior model is now nearly ready to begin skining… But the next big job is making the cockpit, which brings me here again asking for help with instrument lists…
Funny old world… 😉
Air Ministry, I would be forever in your debt if you could help us again. This time though I will make sure to print a paper copy, just in case!
