You make any like these?
I am looking for good quality fuel gauge replicas to finish the Hampden panel.

Cees, I can have a go ….:)

You would need to supply me a drawing in .dxf format with the holes, cut line and graphics generated by an application like TurboCAD/AutoCAD.

It looks like the faces I have made on a CNC milling machine (not this exact one) …..

I don’t see how the aircraft speed comes in to it ?
It would suggest that if the aircraft were stationary the engine would produce no power.

Yes, it transmits no power to the aircraft!

Power = force x distance / time

(It is a little less clear in imperial that the lbs are used as a unit of force here rather than mass.)

All the other clever stuff is covered in the thrust rating of the engine at a given aircraft speed.

Attended by 300 Bomber Command veterans, according to BBC Lincolnshire, the event was overflown by several aircraft including “the current McRoberts Reply, a Short Stirling bomber”. Say no more…….

Any pictures?

I don’t doubt this, but member smirky in post #567 does, hence my query!

On the contrary, I was commenting on post 565 where a member stated as a fact that the seats were inert, before going on to say that he found it surprising.

I found it incredible.

I don’t think we should be so dismissive of the Sun, it is simply echoing the questions that I have overheard people asking today and that after all is what sells papers.

The underlying question with the benefit of hindsight is a valid one and I don’t expect that manoeuvre will ever be repeated in such close proximity to a busy road.

On the contrary, I agree with Moggy.

Mr Humphries was only posing the obvious questions that public opinion demands.

It was up to the interviewee to refute any inaccuracies, to add perspective and to respond convincingly to the devastatingly clear logic behind the question (i.e that the technical causes of the tragedy were immaterial to the question of whether the ‘stunt’ should have taken place over land).

by and large things carried on much as before

I was not around at the time but I thought that the Farnborough tragedy lead to significant safety improvements such as not flying over or towards spectators.
