Hi all, hope this finds you well

I actually had a week off from working from home so now that I’ve been given some freedom from shielding I spent a morning at our workshop with Cliff (socially distanced of course). Apart from checking up on the condition of the place and having a general tidy up, I managed to finish off the Glycol tank; we’ve had a new dipstick manufactured, which has been revited to the tank cap. Drilling 1/16″ holes in 8 off 2BA bolts for the cap wirelocking was a chore but got there in the end. I forgot how much I hate single strand wirelocking!

We’ve also receieved a newly fabricated assembly for our NOS Bomb Release Tee handle which was made FOC by Sam Ollies. This will be fitted to the main instrument panel in due course.

Anyway, it felt good to be out and about again and make some small but meaningful progress. In the meantime some significant progress has been made on the CAD for the fuselage; hopefully once we get back to some ‘normality’ some progress on the bomb frames will be forthcoming.

take care

John

Although we’re scattered far and wide, it hasn’t stopped us progressing some smaller items. The Flying Control trim box shown in earlier posts is now fully complete, greased up and with teh correct Renold chains installed ready to accept the control runs.

I’m sure you’ll agree, considering what we started with, Cliff and the guys have done a fantastic job getting this to a fully functional condition

without ado here are the pics

That’s interesting, thankfully we have a reasonable supply of the correct AGS, but it’s handy to know these things?

Morning all

If you recall the recent update on the R1155 radio refurbishment, here’s a link to how Carl achieved such a wonderful result?

Hi Cees

Trust you’re keeping well. I hadn’t had an update but guessed that it would be postponed.

I suppose to look on the bright side (and blimey do we need to), our main CAD man is making some great progress on the Bomb Bay CAD. Obviously, this is a set back but I’m hopeful that before the end of this year, we’ll have a complete bomb cell frame to show

Hi all

This is likely to be the last regular update for a while as I fall into the 12 week shielding regime?, but it’s all for the best.

This is a belated post from some work carried out over a week ago, the following are a series of photos showing the before and after conditions of the trim and fuel cock control pulley block recovered from the coupe section from LJ628 which was kindly donated to us by NEAM last year. As you can see it looked in pretty poor condition to start with; although surprisingly it came apart pretty easily in the end. I was able to recover all of the pulleys as these were undmaged and the main spindle bolts were all fine too, all I’ve had to replace were the 2 castellated nuts. After bead blasting, priming, final paint and re-assembly I’m sure you will agree it looks as good as new

cheers all and hope you keep safe and well

thanks Guys

The chap who’s restored this has already restored one to working order, it’s an option for later in the build ?

Hopefully not the last update for a while, but who knows…

relatively quiet weekend just gone, as people were off visiting relatives or returning from holiday (hopefully).

It was mostly just me on Saturday, but we had the Glycol tank delivered and it looks even better in the flesh.

Dave G has received our R1155 radio which has been completely externally refurbished and it now looks as good as new. Unfortunately it’s not functional at the moment but have been told that this is certainly feasible. He also brought back our nav’s Anglepoise lamp which has been refurbished and now works so it’s great to have something working.

Lastly, I fitted the Pilots’ Bomb Release Switch and guard to our original P1 control wheel, there’s a retaining cleat for the connector that needs to be installed on the control column chain guard, we have a drawing for this from the Mod Manual.

enjoy

John
