Wasn’t the purchase of this particular airframe the start of the development of the dive-bomber the Stuka (STUrzKAmpfflugzeug = divebomberaircraft)
Or is this a myth.

Hi Cees,

Click on my profile and then click on the avatar until the large pic comes up. I am six feet tall and the early S4 canopy that i own easily matches that.

As for whats left of the 127 Wyverns built, the answer is very little i’m afraid. I have found a few parts but its like looking for a needle in the proverbial haystack.

Not sure if you have been following this thread but the ‘possible’ buried remains that have been discussed are at Gosport in Hampshire, not Lossiemouth.

Ok, oops Gosport it was. So you have a canopy and a set of main wheels. All you have to do next to fill in the space in between and voila the population of Wyvverns has doubled.;):D

Cheers

Hi Wyvvernfan,

Any good shots of the canopy in your Avatar? Apart from the airframe at Yeovilton, what’s left of the Wyvvern? Is there a cockpitsection at Tangmere?
It would be great to see at least if there are still Wyvvern remains at Lossiemouth. The recovery of the remains would be a good reason to get rid of any pollution and the benefit would be that this site has been investigated as well.
Cheers

TE517, the Spitfire that is under eternal restoration?

I was more hinting at the seats in the wireless operators compartment of the B17, not the pilot’s seat

Cheers

Thanks John,

The fuselage looks good though, fibreglass wings would compromise the restoration similar to BL370 now in the US which also has an original fuselage with fabricated wings
Another “lost” opportunity IMHO

The shape of the seat and the two stiffeners at the back look similar to american seats such as fitted in the B17 (don’t know of these have wooden parts though)

These old sites are still very intrigueing and as the previous recoveries at Little Snoring, Kenley, Cumbria quarry have proved, there’s still a lot to be found but it will probably have to be done with a low profile and taken seriously as well. These things take time and planning not to mention funds.

Hi Dan,

Yes, Last weekend we were in a cinema and one of the preview trailers was the Mummy with the six-seat Beau prominently present. Wonder where they left the mainspar.

Yes, there is. Would make a nice restoration project. Even if the wings and tail are not there.
Any info on the airframe?
Cheers

What a fantastic achievement by mr Hammond. Now he has two Mustangs, what is his next project?

Hmm seems like I ask the same question regularly. In my defence, so we can track any progress or unearth new information:)

Hi Cees

I am in contact with David – he is away from his computer hence the lack or a reply to your email – I know he is very keen to communicate with you – don’t worry!

If you can email me your number maybe I can pass it onto him and he can phone you.

Although I prefer not to comment on other peoples projects, he continues to make progress with the cockpit rebuild and has just sent out another of his Albemarle Project newsletters – the project is very much alive and kicking.

Cheers

Elliott,

Hi Nick,

Only the basic framework? Well that must be a hell of a job then. I
have a Albemarle throttle box (the remains of one at least) and
I was contacted by mr Stansfield and sent him some pics but haven’t
heard anything since. I understand that the quarry had more aircraft
remains and that Alan H knows more

Cheers
