Why do some Mk 1 Blenheims have a completely clear nose whereas others, like this restoration, have solid panels in front of the pilot? Was it changed in the light of experience for later production batches – or was it to do with their role?

Cart before horse?

or perhaps cart in preparation for the horse.

Whatever the raison d’etre, the planning application seems to mark the end of the upper galleries – which I always thought were worth a lengthy wander and were full of interesting smaller items like the pressure suit from the Bristol 138, the RRAC and other artefacts.

PS Anybody read the new FP on the subject?……

Most organisations have some form of overseeing body or individual. Who is or are the overseers of the RAFM?

This might help you.

Additionally, page 11 contains an interesting statement on the Sahara P40

They could lend the Albatros D.Va and RE8 back to shuttleworth while the work is ongoing. They were flying two years ago, i doubt they would need much work to get them airworthy again.

I heard somewhere that there was going to be a big “WW1 in the Air” exhibition in the G-W building – perhaps with visiting airframes – perhaps this is just some preparatory work. Ties up with the rumour about the Vimy going to Shuttleworth a few months ago though.

Thanks all for your input – which throws up another “why????”

Why is a carrier’s island always on the starboard side of the ship?

For ease of reference:

Always felt the RAFM should reclaim it’s only Mk XIV and display it in SEAC colours. Wonder whether it will be eventually replaced by the PR19 currently in the Middle East (shopping mall in Kuwait? Bahrain?) to commemorate the last operational use of the Spitfire by the THUM flight at Woodvale

Might have been mildly funny the first time but if you’ve heard it repeated a thousand times it probably begins to wear a bit thin – so who can blame him………………

Once Just Jane is airworthy potentially we could see four Lancasters on the ground at Duxford!
Providing the Canadians can visit?

three in the air would be even better………

if anyone can point us at the proper paint scheme for the tail, Elvis is going to paint it like that from the off.

This might help

Any luck with finding that missing section of starboard wing yet ?

Are these sections from PM870 no more or just not worth saving – although those words don’t seem to be included in your vocabulary…

I assume that someone will not just be looking for the retaining nuts

Didn’t the G-12 have those strange triangular side glazing extensions , a bit like the guard’s duckets on some heritage rolling stock, on the rear canopy in an attempt to improve the instructors forward vision – never going to win a beauty contest is it…..

Didn’t the early ones have a rather unfortunate tendency for the tail to fall off in flight?

Hence the multiple fishplates around the tail/fuselage joint
