I am looking for the “Manual of German Air Force Terminology, German-English”. It was published by the Air Ministry during WW II. I have Part 1, but I need the other sections or volumes. Would anyone have an idea where to look or where I could purchase this manual?
Thanks.

Looks like wiesso has answered your question….if all else fails could run you a photocopy!

Cheers, Chumpy.

Three cheers for Mr Creosote:D and thank you for clearing that up so conclusively:cool:

..OK just don’t give him that ‘waffer thin mint’!!!

…Seems to be a bit of confusion on what was actually used as the basis for the Reindeer..Ashton, Halton, Hermes???
Maybe a wade through the relevant type prodution lists would, produce a lead as to the airframe concerned, the A.I. article mentions it being at Blackbushe so another avenue of research I guess.

All of this reminds me that the film was based on the novel No Highway by Nevil Shute, read it many years ago, a great yarn!

The BOTTOM LINE I guess is the answer here, i.e. the willingness and depth of pocket of a private individual to fund a rebuild. In the case of Spits early marks always more desirable than the later marks.

Same goes for twins (ie Hornet, Mossie etc) keeping a pair of Merlins etc fed and water as opposed to a single, expensive stuff.

Anything can be done if you throw enough money at it, airframe wise. Biggest prob though is always going to be power-plants, as XN923 rightfully points out the chances of getting a Sabre running pretty slim. Thus you are kind of limited by those readily available Merlin, Griffon, Allison etc.

Sure you can shoe-horm some other sort of engine into say a FW190 but in aint ever going to be a proper BMW / JUMO, Thus not to be taken seriously by those with the dosh!
