As far as I know – all a/c owned by Red Bull company. The MD has a DC6 for his personal transport (one of my mates spent months polishing the thing)

B-25
Alpha Jets (several)
Grumman Goose (under a lake close to salzburg – oops)
Extra 300 (or something similar)
DC6

umm… and some other stuff (I’m sure someone will have a comprehensive list icluding serial numbers……)

hopefully that should work. its pretty damn fine. If I had that sort of money to spend, I’d have it. Ambassadors used to fly from Newcastle – my dad used to cycle 20 miles to the airfield to watch them….- it would be nice in the local museum… hope it goes to a good home

I agree with Peter about the vent as used on Fraser Nash turrets.
The third is not from a Stirling, that one has tubular diagonal struts.
Could be either Lancaster main wing rib between the fuselage and inner
engine ……

Lancaster wing ribs in that section (either side of the no.3 and 4 fuel tanks ) have the open side of the channels in the vertical plane. That part appears to be either square section or the channel is in the horizontal plane (opposite side to that flat plate). Depandant on size too – A Lancaster wing rib at that point is pretty big – about 10cm wide at the open edge – I could just about get my hand inside (the gap is about 2 finger widths – just enough to retreive a loose captive nut….) Further outboard and the ribs become more standard in design except at the edges of the fuel tanks where extra strength is required and where the row of captive nuts sit for the (particularly heavy) fuel tank panels. If the attachment actually attaches, it shows the ribs in question. (PA474)

My guess is still firmly with a geodetic Vickers design.

David,

No, its a bad picture – the inner colour is silver.

Which leads me back to wing again.

I am wondering what we are seeing though – if you look at the shape of the cross, there should start to be an intersecting black line at the top of the panel, on the right hand side, but there isnt.

Part number will be the key!

Bruce

Don’t worry about the intersecting black stripe – by the looks of it, the panel is split just short of where it would be…. NOW GO GET THE REST OF IT!!!! (a whole stirling would be nice…):D

was it not done at Booker?…..
