Same source, this time part of a beautiful drawing . . .
Not a photo, but a scan of a cutaway from page 115 of “Aircraft Anatomy of WW2”.
Hope this helps!
Here’s the number three engine in flight (last August – what a great trip!)
The portly transports were probably Vickers Vernons. If someone could send me a copy on VHS or DVD I could probably identify most of them! (PM with address already sent to Stormbird)
Pride of place in my living room is a giant copy of the Wright brothers’ first flight photo(bought from the USAF Museum at Dayton).
How much of a nerd am I? No wonder I live alone!

Over to you guys and gals in the UK – although my late father probably worked on (and even perhaps flew in) Virginias, I have no idea if there is anything tangible left, in the UK or anywhere else.
Virginia III airborne (from “The British Bomber since 1914”)
Nice to see you’re on your mettle, Anna!
Vickers Virginia bombers, I should think. What was the title of this programme? Anyone manage to tape it?
Me too, goodnight Anna
Sorry, Anna, you’ll have to read the whole book (over 600 pages) to get the rest of the story, but the plot isn’t up to much, sends me to sleep in no time! General Chemistry, by Nebergall, Schmidt and Holtzclaw – some names to conjure with – 1968 edition, probably long out of print!
The difference in chemical properties between metals and non-metals lies chiefly in the fact that atoms of non-metals can readily fill their valence shells by sharing electrons with or transferring electrons from other atoms.
So there!
(Dug out my old chemistry textbook, complete with the letters after my name that I had forgotten: T.Eng(CEI), FSERT, MISTC)
With reference to post #7, I saw this “restoration” at Brandon last August and it’s scarcely begun! I’m afraid that there was so little to see that I didn’t even photograph the bits – a firewall and a jig!
I’ll play it on slow motion to get the most out of it . . .
