There is another Seamew advert, in addition to the one posted by Avion Ancien.

It is on the extremely useful Aviation Ancestry website.

Click on Seamew 1954

If you want more nostalgia on the top LHS go back to Ads Index and waste away a few more hours.

Nicko thank you for the continued updates.

I took delivery of a port wing aileron from a Vampire today. Made by EE at Preston and with original DTD silver on lower and green/grey on upper. If you know of anyone who needs one please let me know.

Thanks

Brian

Trying to ident a sub contracted Spitfire part Inspector stamp I came across this list – no inspector stamps but intuitive to find out what items were made by whom.

FYI I sent a note to Farnborough and they replied this morning with pictures confirming that they have both seats for the Wasp XV631 cockpit section they have in store. Unlike this one , 617 is stencilled on the back in large numbers on the LHS seat.

Of course it may have come from an earlier refit.

It may be a part number from the Mk1 but that does not mean it was not also used in later variants. There were many mk1 Halifax parts carried through into the later variants….only when the part was redesigned for a later mark would it have got a new part number .

I assume so. Also the Z is an N on its side.

Just been looking on Seawings and there are several articles as follow ups to the 1930 article – with details on the catapult design and details and an Edinburgh manufacturer who is still in business

Other articles are included if you go to Ships Gallery and go to bottom of page.

Attached Lanc canopy drawings – cant see a match for the shape or the construction

Lanc canopy section I had was made from angle aluminium with bolts through the perspex from the outer frame – lots of bolts.
