I used a friend who is a cabnet maker, who had a workshop early last year. To cut some spruce. But he had to go to work for another company, when work dried up. We use a small saw which is part of a Kitty thickness planer. But it dosn’t cut large bulks of wood.

Their is a sketch of the rear cockpit of a Battle, showing the T1083/R1082 in the Aviation Guide ‘ Fairey Battle’ by Ian Huntley. A photo of the T1083/R1082 set up in a Percival Proctor MK1 in ‘Percival and Hunting Aircraft’ by John Silvester. I have a R1082 that came out of a 7sdn Short Stirling.
