Sure it is!

Thank you

Unfortunally very little

Thanks anyway!

…..here is what found, probably it is from the maintenance manual. Read bottom of point 6, it clearly speakes about rotating the T-beam via an adjustable strut. Just like in the cutaway says.

Thanks for your answers.

Yes, the maintenance manual…..would be perfect for sure.

About the cutaway ( I think Roy Cross did it) it mentions at (11): “struts incorporating turnbuckles adjustment raise cowling panel support beam, hinged at (12), for access to top of engine”

And the drawing shows an arrow indicating that the beam could rotate upward.

So I strongly suspects that it did. Would be logical too for accessing the upper engine part without taking aprt the doors-beam assembly. All this via the turnbuckle (11).

Thanks a lot. I managed to get a copy of Wixey work. I missed it…thanks for the idea.

From your knowledge, would it be possble to find somewhere a copy of the ” Handbook on the Panther Ship Aeroplane (Ministry of Munitions 1918)” ?

..Thanks John…too kind……..but this 1/72 Blackburn Blackburn made me feel guilty at the time , since I used much of “artistic licence” for the cockpit.

Until now, and thanks to Monsieur Powerandpassion, this thing was a total mistery. So I really hope he will continue to delight us with such great pictures….Yuk Yuk!

….I don’t know what collection you have, but it makes my Sunday Night very exciting!

……Would say….. BLACKBURN BLACKBURN…….?
