We’ve been fortunate in being able to acquire a copy of the Parts Catalogue for the Stirling. I’ll have a look through it in the next few days. To be honest, It’s not a part number sequence I’ve seen on the aircraft but, I’ll have a look to see what I can find
Chances are, the chain in question is made by Renolds (which you can still get), it’s certainly the case with our Stirling controls. Hopefully some kind soul will be along with the relevant part number
The mod leaflet provisioning list and instructions calls for new lamps (with Shorts Pt No) and electrical AGS, there is no requirement to remove or relocate existing lamps so it would seem that at some point the lights were removed or not fitted from build. At least for a Mk IV
The later mod was from AP1660D/E so much later and specifically states that it re-instates the lamps in the former position. the use of 5C/366 is intriguing as it’s a much larger assembly, needless to say we have plenty of those 🙂
Yes the museums in question are Hendon and Cosford but I also thought Duxford was an RAF Museum to include in this but I’ve just remembered that it is actually IWM.
So the original question has been opened up slightly to include aircraft at the IWM Duxford too!
Well there is a Jag in Duxford (XX108) but this was always a trials aircraft not an operational one
