    Ahh, sorry, that was new for me, even I knew the Red Bull fleet should be situated somewhere.
    So if you´re near to Salzburg, it´ll be worth to go there.
    Thanks beistrich!

    Hello friends

    Graham Adlam himself followed the thread and asked me to post his message:

    I can only list the info people have given me, I know a bit about Spits but dont claim to be an expert on bombers. The rudder pedals actually had a stores ticket saying handley page halifax. I also have left an offer to all members at spitfirespares.com offering vouchers for the correction of listing of any parts i have listed. I have hundreds of parts listed if i knew what they all are from personal knowledge i really would be gifted.

    Cheers,
    Herbert

    That´s the only information I´ve got:
    A.P.1086, Part 11E lists the following “ring control handles” for the Spitfire:
    AH2174 for Spitfire IA, IIA, VA
    AH8068 for Seafire, Spitfire IB, IIB, VB, VC, F.VI, VII, VIII, FIX, FXII, FXXI
    A proper grip for the Harvard I and II should be stamped AH2242, a proper Hurricane, AH2040.
    AH2040 also “fits” the Battle, Fulmar, Lysander I and II, Skua, Swordfish and Whirlwind.
    Cheers,

    That´s great! Thanks Mark!
    When I think of the information:
    Spitfire Mk XVIII: Powered first by the Griffon 65, then by the 2,375 hp Griffon 67, the Mk XVIII was a standardization of the evolutions appeared on the late-production Mk XIV.
    So I have a confirmation, that this plan might have been used from Mk XIV upwards. So the 20Lbs boost gauge suits to Mk XIV and Mk XVIII with the Griffon 65, the 24Lbs for the planes with the griffon 67.
    Cheers,
    Herbert

    I know at least of two sandwich landings with Cessnas and Pipers. One in Austria in the early 80ties and one in the U.S.
    Both without casualties.
    Well, Cessnas have a bad view upwards, Pipers downwards and if the tower only uses “landing at your own discretion” it might be understandable.

    Hello Mark
    Please take a look at Mod. N°1625, too.
    It´s not clearly visible at that plan.
    Thanks and kind regards,

    Hello Mark
    Does that mean, that in that case it was a Mk XIV with the switches for the electrically heated clothing?
    I wonder the connection between pilot heating and boost?
