    Twas nothing!!!

    Needed a break from putting holes in frames in Cad.Trying to get all the frames ready to be cut out and I was missing the Lightening holes in F18..DOH!!!Sooo long night finishing it off.
    More pics the better as you get a lot better idea of how it looks and how it works.Might get something out of this..:cool: Cheers for the measurements Ian.Fills in a lot of the mystery.
    As you say never can learn enough with these planes.

    Packards..

    I think it was to do with the looser build and machining tolerences of the US counterpart.I know they had a lot of trouble with the MkXVI,s.Interesting that I haven,t heard much about the Packards in the Mustangs being so troublesome.

    Patch

    When Lz842 was still here IIRC it was a fabric patch over the chute port.Can,t recall if it had the firing mechanism in it though.Doesn,t look too difficult to build.A few good pics and some rough measurements and you never know what will turns up.Is the flare itself a standard size,like the ones found on the rack on the front of the Spits seat??
    Just a little stab in the dark…

    Remains

    How many were shot down over the UK during the Little Blitz?Most of the airframe stuff would have been recycled.

    Do you take Pesos?

    Can give you some drawings for some of the stuff mate.Already got some stuff going your way soon finally.Rollers are being machined up now actually.What type throttle plate you after,an early,mid or late type?Deicer **** drawing just needs to be converted from 2D from 3D and I have to finish off the valve .

    Is it,or isn,t it??

    Sorry, no criticism of the seller intended, and I genuinely don’t know if this is a Spitfire seat or not.

    It is!!!!!

    Hiya Mate,long time no hear…
    PM means “Private Message” and is like a secret Squirrel message you can send to guys on the forum.
    Sir Bill is a bit crook with a tummy bug at the moment so it,s knocked him pretty bad.Yeah he is a godsend in regards to parts etc and has helped us out immensely with our little project.
    Email on the way..:cool:
