I didn’t mean the number of cannon, but the wing design.

Voytech,

Thanks for putting me in place in such a polite way :p

Over to the experts again. 😎

I hope they get started on the Barracuda project soon. Didn’t they get some high ground wreckage a few years ago to speed up the project (yes, I know funding is the stumbling block).

The story about the Skua was published in the latest issue of FlyPast. Altough a significant relic, a reconstruction would be a more sensible thing to do. In Norway they have restored a cockpitsection and there were plans to fully restore a Skua from several wrecks.

Perhaps they have taken out a cannon out of each wing to save weight. A common practise I understand.

Here are some of the drawings I brought back from the UK last week (and is also the cause that I am now at home with a bad cold (must have been those draughty London Undergroundstations).

Aren’t they the most beautiful drawings, almost like art.

Alex,

I don’t have access to a scanner at the moment, but there are some good books about the Halifax which also covers the post war periode (The Halifax file is a good example).

Here is a pic of a C Mk VIII
