If the UK needs another P-38 that much it would be cheaper to buy one.. or swap out a Spitfire ( there are a lot of those around).
..puts on tin hat.
I would like contact details too – I am looking for 3D40 (ie Wirraway) prop hubs..

“Same as DC-3…”. Is that the CAA position? 😉
P&P, pm sent 🙂

Have you asked Dave or Emily at the Westland archive yet? I’ll PM their contact details if you’d like.
Speechless. Just caught up with the news. What an achievement. Well done all – and nice one Smudge. I cannot wait to see (and hear) her.
Hehe – guess that’s a ‘no’ then 😉
Is this a US production? The tvguide link above says ‘Thousands of soldiers during the Second World War died in catastrophic air accidents and tragic training crashes’. Does this suggest a presumption of Army Air Force?
This might also suggest why this has been produced where UK based attempts have floundered. Much more ‘niche’ stuff gets commissioned in the US.
I maybe should know better than to ask this, but as a local who can get to DX at short notice, is there a method for picking up any advance notice of intended first flight of the Blenheim?
Lovely!! Just what we needed and numbering mystery solved – the FJ had a standard diameter back then, and the number referred to length only. Thanks!
Hi there,
Please find attached the Hunting Percival Aircraft Ltd Design Office Handbook Section DB-09-02 dated 11/11/52 regarding countersunk DZUS fasteners.
I don’t think it gives you any further information than you already know, but thought I’d include it.
Just a thought, in your parts manual are the Sec/Ref numbers for the fasteners in there as well as the p/n, should be Sec 28FP for Aircraft Fasteners and Quick Release Pins, if there are can you list them please and I’ll look in my copy of AP1086 Sec 28FP
Regards
Dave
Hi Dave – That pretty much sums up what we have, useful single-page reference, though. In our AP parts list they are 27H/, bit odd. No further numbers, nothing after the slash. Looking forward to seeing the 1938 reference, Tony, and hoping it’s not the same!
Sure does. PM-ing my addy. Cheers!
