Brian, great photo’s as always. Thanks for sharing. On the wings of ARco T9 just on the edge of the roundles is what looks like an alumiunm disc, are these the wing tank’s filler caps? just looked a bit too far outboard !

Steve.

Steve, Yup these are probably the filler caps, PV202 having the ‘Nick Grace’ style wet wing mod. Originally done by a mob on the IOW many years back!

Cheers, C.

“The World owes me a living”. c1946 aired on british TV c 1957 Bristol F2B and I think an Avro 504, plus some other DH and Miles types memory doesn’t recall.

“Things to come” Mew Gull “fighter” in combat with a Hawker Fury and Avro 504’s. and some futuristic mock ups.

“The Death Ray” Airspeed Envoy.

Thanks for the input John,

Closer view of the aircraft.

Some while back I picked up a 1936 vintage union newsletter the ‘New Propellor’..Organ of the aircraft shop stewards national council.

Makes for interesting reading, dim view of the vast profits made by the aircraft industry bosses. Articles relating to union action at various factory’s around the country..support for the legitimate goverment in Spain etc….Only slightly left of centre!!

Union membership was was a ‘requirment’ or else it seems, certainly this was the still the case when I finished my apprenticeship circa 1975. Anyone know if this still applied to the vast numbers of ‘new’ aircraft industry workers during WW2?

Chumpy.

By gawd I think he’s got it!
