I thought you might like to see one of the rare pics of the Comet instrument panel, very few pics exist, this one is from the later French machines but you can see one of the main fuel tank gauges in the bottom right of the panel, the other was on the left. As you can see it seems to be same type as discussed but calibrated for the larger tank.

On a similar note can anyone identify the type of clock seen on the cockpit side, sorry about the poor quality of the pic, I have a slightly better quality version but its a large file and I cant download it to the site as it freezes up, it’s the best I have seen though..

The original total fuel capacity was about 258 gallons in 3 tanks but the rear small tank of about 20 gallons was used to help trim the aeroplane and as far as I can tell never had its own fuel guage fitted Smaller tanks were fitted in Grosvenor house when it was restored. The fuel tanks have yet to be decided and sorted but the original fuel guages look exactly the same type as used on the Rapides and Spits but with different markings to suit the tanks.

What capacity are the Comet tanks?

I have been keeping a look out for a couple of these fuel guages for the DH88 Comet instrument panel. The originals look to be the same type but re-callibrated of course for the larger tanks. So far the prices are way too expensive, but I keep looking. Its interesting the same type was used on the Oxford and Anson plus the Rapide of course.

Thanks for the links TJ, I spent ages yesterday trying to find them on the Pathe site, I guess you need to put in the correct wording to get what you want. I will drop them a line to ask if its possible to get a copy for my own use.

Thanks again the clips are great

There are a couple of videos of CSR in the Congo on the mail run, and Campbell-Black in G-ADEF enroute to Cairo at British Pathe. Interesting footage!

Hi,
Do you have a link to these videos, I have copies of the Pathe news which cover the race but never knew the ones you mention existed

Thanks

I would have a word with Supermarine Aero Engineering at Stoke on Trent tel 01782811344 or via the web site at http://www.supermarine.net .I think that if the drawing exists then they will have it.

Hope this helps

Thanks Robbo, thats about the sort of price I was thinking off. I often wonder if these people ever sell the ones at super inflated prices.

Hello Mark

Thanks for the post I already have a copy of that CSU manual but its only a general thing and not a specific overhaul manual. Its on my computer if you would like a copy.

The hydromatic props use a different type of CSU I am afraid.

Thats a good site for manuals but a bit pricey.

Just thought I would refresh this post to see if anyone over the weekend can help at all, or suggest a possible supply. As I saisd I have a couple of AX-10’s but need type BX10… is the difference the direction of rotation perhaps? can it be reversed?

I dont as yet have a manual so can anyone help

Hello Pete,

Not sure what the ‘P’ relates to but I have come across it for the CSU’s I am after for the Queen 2 engines.

I am looking for a some type BX-10 CSU’s, I already have a couple of AX-10’s and am not sure of the difference as I dont have any manuals for them yet. Sorry to hijack the thead but if anyone can help it would be great.

Anyway getting back to Pete’s question I have seen these CSU’s listed as types PAX & PBX so whether the ‘P’ relates to the manufacturer perhaps?

No problem about letting others have copies if we are able to make them. I have been sent a pic of the plate for the Queen 1 but need to check if its the same as the Queen 2.

Have dropped a note to Classic Flight to see if they can help and am waiting for a reply

Hello, I believe the Austers will now have a permit to fly handled by the LAA, not sure how it will be handled in Australia though.
