Harland and Wolff contract no A.S.19062 serial no C5451-C5750. Qty ordered 300 Qty delivered 100. 200 cancelled 28 march 1918. Sorry i cant find the contract date.

The Fairey 111f did have a Napier lion X1A engine, but most had Fairey Reed metal propellers. Another possiblity could be a Blackburn Ripon some had a Lion X1A engine.

I remember when the RAF museum got the DH9a back from Poland with out wings. They did not know Which type of spars to use, Some DH9a’s had spindeled spars others had box spars. I dont know which way they went in the end.

Have you seen that the Heinkel 162 is for sale as well.

I remember going to London with my ATC squdron 460 Dunstable to watch the film when it came out. Later in the early 1980’s i repaired the thatch on the house of the stills photographer Keith Hampshire on the film and many Bond films. He had many photo albums full of shots he took during making the film. He let me take them home to look at. Later he said if there was a couple of simlar shots i could take one, i ended up with around 20 or so photo’s taken in Span, Duxford and Henlow. But because of his copy right i cant put them on show.

[QUOTE=Hurrifan;1207797]Read about the Proctukas but have never seen one are there any photos ?

The proctuka was use in a Spike Milliagan film, i think it was called ” what i did in the war”. In a german aircraft crash seen. I have seen photos in magazines in the past.

I have a ladder which was used in a garden. This was so the mid upper gunner could get into his turret on a Stirling. I got it from a man who paid ten shillings for it. This came out of one of the Stirling’s at Woburn Park, i use to live in the next village.
