Probably a waste of time now Der, once they have finished their survey I have no doubt they will dig up all of the sand dunes and gorse at Findhorn to a depth of 20ft and transport it to someone else’s backyard to contaminate them instead! If there was any great risk then hundreds of dog walker’s and Findhorn Foundation members, not to mention holidaymakers for the last 50 years or more would be dropping like flies with radiation poisoning, cancer etc.

Glowing

Have you had the parts checked for possible contamination then?

Nope, after 34 years in the RAF and 15 years flying in close proximity to a host of ‘glow in the dark’ dials and lights i expect it is already too late!

Kinloss/Findhorn

Don’t think fissile part are likely unless someone buried a ‘bucket of sunshine’ there! Fissile means – capable of undergoing nuclear fission as a result of the impact of slow neutrons.

However, can of worms may be correct. What about the mass scrapping of Halifaxes and Lancs at Brackla for a start?

As for aircraft parts, I have collected a few from the Kinloss/Findhorn area and,so far,I am not glowing in the dark! – see this thread –

Anson parts

Sorry Peter but if you look closer at your photo of the u/c to spar bracket you posted you will see the u/c mount is offset.

The frame to spar attachments are central as in this photo and matches the part shown by Tom.

Hi Ross,

It must be my fading eyesight but I cannot locate the part you are referring to in your photo?

Mount

Tom,
Here is the picture I was looking for. It shows both that large gear wheel and the fork in situ..

Hi Peter,

It looks like the right part, here are the photos again to compare:

[ATTACH=CONFIG]219254[/ATTACH]

I also noticed the round knurled wheel in you photo (photo 11 in my second post of images)too, which look similar to the one I found, any ideas on what that is?:

[ATTACH=CONFIG]219255[/ATTACH]

It looks like a wheel in the control runs to the tailplane?

The tubular framework also looks like it came from an Anson (photo 7)

Anson parts…. That large toothed wheel is for the operation of the wing bombdoors and mounts on the rear face of the front spar between the engine and fuselage. That fork shaped item looks like it might be the rear mounting point for the landing gear to rear spar….?

Hi Peter,

Thanks for that. Are you referring to the same fork shaped part as Ross when you write about the landing gear? (Photos 2&5)

Main spar mount

Hi Tom,
Post 1, photo 2 & 5 is probably the fuselage frame to main spar mount for an Anson. The wooden main spar passed between the rectangular fork section with through bolts.

Some scale would confirm if main spar.

Regards
Ross

Thanks Ross, it is approx 6in x4in x 2in in size.

Sticky

Since so few bother to read the sticky outlining the simple snd effective way to search the forum, what would be the chance of them reading one about this aircraft?

Moggy

There is a sticky about that? Wow! I never knew that! Where are the stickies kept?

Hi Kervyn,

I am aware of the Belgian Alpha Jets now being in France. I want to contact pilots who flew the type when it was based at the two Belgian airfields.

Thanks Jonesy,

I will try to work out how to post a message they might be able to see on LinkedIn. I had a look at you ink and it looks useful.

Thanks very much, very comprehensive instructions. All I have to do now is wait for the weather to improve!
