    Well we’ve now fully moved into our ‘new’ workshop and have started production again albeit in a small way. Fingers crossed we can be left alone to make some steady progress…..

    The photo below show the slots in the P1 seat beam to allow the rudder control cables to pass through the structure from the rudder pedal bellcranks. the picture also shows some original Paxolin fairleads recovered from BK710 which will be used as a pattern to make a pair for the outboard P1 seat beam.

    We’ve also mounted the remains of the forward escape hatch opening from LJ628 on a display board to show it in context.

    On the to do list:

    Design of the bomb bay jig is in progress
    CAD drawings of the bomb bay structure are being finalised
    throttle box is being worked on and is awaiting manufacture of some parts to progress it towards completion.

    Thanks Beermat, I might take you up on that suggestion. I’ve been collating Pt Nos from various sources and now have just under 3000, it’s a slow and laborious task though

    If anyone has the AP Volume III then the mast should be listed, possibly including the material spec.

    Would that we had a Vol 3:apologetic:

    The RAFM have reams of pages from the Vol 3 which must amount to over 700 pages, but no diagrams and they don’t appear to be in order. It’s on the list of things to do to get them copied/scanned and try and get them into some semblance of order:highly_amused:

    I doubt that there’d have been an inflatable skin James as it doesn’t appear in the pneumatic schematic for the aircraft. I’d image that it’d more likely be the mustard coloured paste that would be applied as per the wing leading edges. in fact, why worry about de-icing it as the only critical items to be de-iced are the aerofoil leading edges and the props.

    Looking at it as I write. Devoid of outer wings and looking rather sad outside Cambridge ATC tower…..

    Some might call it art, others might call it a gate guard…..

    Depends on the time period, but I’m sure that someone on here had softcopies of AP119 which is the painters bible

    Still trying to chase down a Mk IV single axis autopilot gyro or at a pinch a Mk VIII for the Stirling
