    Thanks Tony..Interesting!!!Didn,t know that about the cables,always thought it was two for all Marks of Spit…
    Anyway have already got the GA drawing but the proportions look wrong,especially up the front where the square section goes into part 15.Have found out the hard way to question the drawings 😮 :rolleyes:
    Lengths of the parts will help wipe away the fog that has clouded my brain…
    It is a beautiful (painful) assembly with how it all adjusts with the starwheel.

    With apologies to all for perpetuating the ‘tangent’ to this thread. I shan’t post on the subject again.

    No appolagies needed.Is a free world so what we are led to believe.Life is different to all of us.All of us dream but chance,luck and oppurtunities sometimes give us a raw deal.But keep on living and moving forward is the key.I would love to be able to buy a Warbird but financial situation,chances and life have led me a different path.
    In regards to the meteors it is amazing they are there,it is a big world.

    well it sure as hell it was never going to be restored by the Indians [bit like the B-17E Swamp Ghost etc from PNG].

    I look forward to seeing it up and running.

    I notice that the whingers and whiners rarely put their hand in their own pockets [but rather others!] to effect a positive result.

    Wonder how quickly projects get done quicker if all the energy is postively used.

    Check out the hot rod shows or Street Machines.A lot of the aluminium parts on their engines are polished.

    It,s awsome to do something like that.Gives us a look on how it was done.The BBMF Lanc has done it with Poppy flowers…

    With ditching I think it depends what is hanging under the aircraft.
