    Just going through this one and it reminds me that I have an early Harrier nose section in storage, is it worth restoring? Are the bits readily available as I don’t have any cockpit fittings just the shell?

    Whats your project? Just asking as depending on what you have, will affect what is or isnt useful to you.

    Ideally I would like a complete Venom or Vampire to restore for display, but anything would be good as a starting point

    It’s a Bendix magneto from one of the Lycoming 720 series engines; it should have a part number/serial number identity plate on it somewhere. What are your plans for it? There’s nothing much you can do without the tooling/test facilities and it can’t (legally) be fitted to an aircraft unless it has the appropriate release documentation (such as a Form One stating Time Since Overhaul, Airworthiness Directives complied with, etc) I’m afraid.
    It probably came off something like a QueenAir, Pawnee Brave or Aero Commander.

    Thanks for the info, really helpful.

    Magneto

    Harvey, what do you want? I could copy the relevant sections for you from the engine manuals.

    Hi Tony, Any info would be good, if you have an exploded view of the mag that would be useful.

    Vampire Venom restoration

    Thanks for all the replies to my previous posts, really helpful. Looking at the my options I wonder if it might be possible to find a single seat vampire or venom for static restoration. or perhaps a fuselage or engine, open to offers really. Still on the look out for Meteor bits too. Grateful if you would PM me with any offers or ideals as to where to look. Thanks

    XV744

    I,m sure XV744 is going to be looked after at Tangmere. Inside or out, it’s got to be better treated than it was at Shrivenham, best they could do was pump the tyres up when they wanted to move it around, until it eventually ended up in the corner out of the way.

    Thought you might like to see a picture of XV744 taken a few years ago parked at Shrivenham.

    Beverley question

    You might like to try the Blackburn Beverley Association. I’m sure Brian (Holt) would be more than happy to add an article in the association magazine. Contact detail on the association website.

    RAF Museum Hendon

    I did visit there a few months ago to look at some archive material, paid cash on the day for the copies and then received a very curt letter some months later asking for payment. They did conceed later but it is still not what you expect. Perhaps i’m still bitter at them scrapping the Beverley, lets hope they do look after the remaining aricraft in their ‘care’.:p
