Mark,

I remember seing a photograph of the same sections but taken from a more “behind” angle in an article about the Typhoon in Flypast over a decade ago. IIRC it is a survivor. Wasn’t this the section that was used for paint trials by Glosters?

Hope this helps

Here is a photo of a Typhoon undercarriage leg that was trawled up from the north sea off IJmuiden. It has been on display in our museum ever since.

Cheers

Hi Chad,

No, you are not the only one. I have tried it several times in vain too.
Since Scott went away for a while someone must have slipped.

AH = Dunlop as far as I know

Pleas correct me if I’m wrong

Look at the paper drop tanks on ‘Sweet & Lovely’ – first time they have been seen on a Mustang in the modern era. The port tank is an original (one of only four known to exist), the other is a very clever copy made by Bob Baker, owner, pilot and restorer of this machine. Bob achieved the coveted Grand Chapion (WWII) award from the judges for his efforts this year.

Mark V,

We do have 1 (in perfect condition) and a 2/3 (missing it’s back end) paper droptank on display in our museum. I take it these were not included in the mentioned amount, so there are now 5 2/3, and counting.

Cheers

Thanks for the information Arm Waver,

It’s really appreciated.

Cheers
