That’s exactly the wrong question about mass production in wartime.

Yes indeed but i was asking about today as Peter was not in the war was he?:D

Back then on the assembly line all parts made in bins on the shelf im sure several made up the heads, others fitted crank and pistons, others assembled the rest along the production line as seen on here in the last year on a old film.

The op has a very good question i doubt it can be truly answered but im sure someone will surprise me.;)

Thanks Scott good man………….:)

Is that a small boy in the cockpit picture ?

Do you still fly?

😀

I would like to go back there in the Autumn with a Ground Penetrating Radar when the field has been harvested. I am wondering how much of the plane was recovered and how much still remains. Witnesses said that it came in very low and at a shallow angle but it did make a 30 foot crater. The field is owned by the Mayor who gave us permission to search it.

Just a thought if you want help finding parts ask at the Metal detecting forums for volunteers you will get plenty of help wanting to do a dig, and if your in my area i too will come along with mine.

All aircraft finds you keep anything else we do.:D

I will be listening in on my receiver on 120.800mhz just to see if i can hear the flight from Coningsby to London i do have around 300mls of range and just may watch it at 1.30pm.:D

I read last time the flypast went to London the places should something go wrong to ditch the single engine aircraft is the Thames! Not a very pleasant place to put down.!!:eek:
