Looks great to me, going from the article this is a temporary scheme before a repaint next year.

Fantastic shots Jamie, nice to see distance pics with plenty of sky, especially liking the one with the B-17 in the foreground. The third from last shot really shows off the size of the P-47!:)

So do I:)

Pair of hunter / seahawk? Grips

I bet the seller can’t believe the amount he’s going to get for them!:eek:

Typo 😮

From what I can fathom out, the Aerocar Minor (101 hp Cirrus Minor IIs), G-AGNJ, was never completed, the Major, G-AGTG (155 hp Cirrus Major IIIs) was the only example completed and flown, first doing so from Portsmouth 18th June 1947.
It also appeared at the 1947 SBAC show at Radlett.

There should be pictures of it on the net, I would strongly recommend searching ‘Aerocar’ between the years 1946 – ’50 on the Flightglobal site, http://www.flightglobal.com/pdfarchive/index.html

Along with the Concordia, Satellite, and various Miles designs, it strikes me as a project that could have gone a bit further if the times were right.

I have got various artices and illustrations/photos of the Aerocar, but not best quality.

Yes!! Much like the Finnish museums’ other British sole survivors like the Martynside Buzzard and lovely original Blenheim (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:Bristol_Blenheim_Mk_IV_%28BL-200%29.jpg)!

As for the more specific angle of keeping some ‘finds’ as they are, absolutely, such as the RAFM Halifax, and hopefully the Sahara P-40.

The prop tools for the AS.1/4 & T.2/5 will not fit the AEW.3 sadly, we have the earlier tools and been offered others – which is always the way!
For example, the tool upper right we have one that looks identical and fits perfectly, except the edge is splined and not threaded!
There are other avenues which we will pursue. They are complex and pretty well difficult to bodge up (for want of a better word!)

The engine removal C spanner I’m guessing will cover all types, hopefully this will be sitting around in someones kit, RR Heritage have been contacted as well.
Worse comes to the worse a new tool could probably be made, however it is rated at 240 ft Ibs.
