I don’t think we’ve got anything that came from a crash near Yarmouth. How long ago where these on the beach?

Hi Mark

All of these sections have been gone over with a fine tooth comb to ascertain the correct profile of the upper fuselage, and you’re correct in your assumption that it extends into the cockpit area. Each section has it’s own ‘issues’ as they’ve spent most of their life out in the open in distinctly agricultural conditions and of course were recovered from crashed aircraft. Therefore a average has been taken which when compared with best practice leads us to think we’ve now got it right 😀

thanks for the encouragement

A quick update, here’s the first of our newly cast and machined control column tops. We now have all the major components to fabricate 2 new control columns using original bases 🙂

My thoughts were that it was a Shackleton too 🙂

John,

I believe Pino and Peter (new comic duo) have seen the French sections haven’t they?

Cees

Never a truer word spoken in jest :diablo:

I believe they did go and look at them, and they proved most useful

IIRC there’s also one in France which was used as a goat shed, I think it was covered in the magazine at one point

I think the one you’re referring to is the top half of the fuselage only, ie without the lower fuselage and floor. If my memory serves me, wasn’t it used as a goat shed……?

Thanks Mark

I’ve not been on that Forum so will have to send the link to our Chairman for his input.

Hi Mark

Thanks for the glowing endorsement 😀

The RAFM has been very helpful to us and has allowed us to survey the remains of the Mickle Fell Stirling which as aided us enormously.

Can you let me know which Forum you saw the referenced post on please?

regards

John

Hi Mark

Interesting post. I’m not aware of the Worthing aircraft or the others you mention, but then again our Chairman is the expert in those matters so I’ll point them out to him to see if he knows more.

Re EF311, we’re still hoping that the local dive club will be doing a site survey at some stage this year. It’s uncertain which way up it is and it is know that the exposed part of the fuselage has been eroded by shifting sand etc.

I’ll provide an update when I know more

cheers

John

Hi Elliott

Happy New Year.

Jaguar Part Nos are not Type M etc (M was the french maritime version only)

Part Nos found are as follows but were not limited to the aircraft types eg 121E could be found on RAF single seaters :rolleyes:

121A – French Strike
121B – British Trainer
121E – French Trainer
121S – British Strike

121O – Used to find these numbers on Pylons
Numbers also seen 121Q and 121X although I’ve never seen a specific reason for their allocation.
