It’s that “Private Collection in London” again. Such a big collection, must be why they had to make up descriptions of what they had..

The staff will also select parts of documents to scan at quotation stage, if you need them to – so for example you can say ‘any tables of figures’ or ‘any pictures of ‘X’ without seeing the document, if necessary. This is a way to avoid unnecessary copying expense – if there are no pictures of ‘X’ in a selected document, then the doc won’t get copied at all. I haven’t tried ‘any references to ‘X’ – may not work, as this is approaching ‘research’..

With enormous thanks to Steve Vizard, and through Matt P’s wizardry, we now have 3D scans of the largest chunks of P6966 accurate to 0.008 inch – here’s a sample image of one of the nacelle / spar sections.

This data will be fed straight into Gunnar’s CAD design, and thus incorporated in the ‘production’ drawings that this generates.

Looking forward to a teleconference at some point, Dave, once Gunnar has handed over the drawings. Wish I lived closer so I could do more ‘hands on’ – I’m sure that goes for a few of us.

An inspiration to us all. What a man.

RIP Ken – Blue Skies

What are they? If they are a unique record – factory drawings not generally known to exist, for example – then please encourage your friend to lodge copies with the appropriate collection before selling the originals as artifacts.
Of course, the most money by far would be made by putting them on e b*y as ‘genuine original Avro Spitfire bomber jet documents’, or so it would seem.
