Glad they’ll be of use 🙂

Hi James

the majority of the drawings are of minor individual parts and are of varying quality, I see no reason why they can’t be made available for any interested parties to view 🙂

A quick update; the RAFM recently offered the Project some original Stirling Blue prints. When we collected them there was a lot more than we were expecting; some 4 boxes worth with each mounted on hardboard. Some are of very poor quality having been ‘wiped’ with some form of solvent which appears to have destroyed the detail, however the vast majority are in excellent condition and certainly good enough to fabricate components from.

I’d like to extend our thanks to Ian Thirsk and the staff of the RAFM for their kind donation which will be put to good use.

Best you wear a hard hat…….

Belated follow up post Newark

We’ve acquired an almost complete set of fuel tank levers for the FE position (courtesy of Air Ministry) and also now have a complete set of junction boxes plus looms for the bomb bay. We also managed to get hold of some more MkIV autopilot equipment including an oil reservoir, air throttle, servo and single and 2-axis gyros. If anyone knows where there’s a lid ofr a Mk IV 2-axis gyro can you please let me know 🙂

Finally, we’ve been working on the release mechanism for the Sutton Harness. Did Shorts use an off the shelf release item? Oh no! They had to go and design a massively complicated affair that’s a pain in the (expletive deleted) to make
