Pity that these unique and beautiful aircraft don’t generate enough interest to change hands and have the restoration continued. SkySport at least made it into a complete fuselage instead of just a part of the fuselage, do they have a set of wings to go with it?
very nice site, showing from the start how the project was begun, also almost everything is handbuilt including the hexogonal main spars, a virtually handbuilt aircraft, great job they are doing
I know the Dutch fishermen used to find bits of aircraft in their nets and took them to their home ports (Texel being one, where we visited once a year to have a look) but the past few years they throw anything back overboard, how about French, Belgian or British trawlers? FlyPast used to cover these items in their early years with a complete Stirling undercarriage crate with leg and mainwheel tyre still in one piece. Has anything recently turned up?
(not to mention EF311;))
Cheers
If you would be so kind, feel free but if Alan hasn’t come across any of these in decades then it will be a difficult (but not impossible) search, but then again it will be a challenge.
Nice to see that the are still around, I agree that a good drawing would be very benefical to you and the stirling project, has the owner contacted about a good drawing?
The panels are still available, price now 75 GBP for the two, including
cowling gill gauges and two cowlin gill switches. pm me for details
and pics
