    Good luck with the restoration

    The CBFS are beginning the next phase of our Hurricane Mk1 restoration – recreating a set of early fabric-covered wings. As far as we know, this has not been attempted before – any thoughts, offers of help, comments, suggestions and best of all relevant pictures / drawings (can’t have too many of those) welcome.

    I’ll keep this thread up-to-date with situation reports as we go along. At the moment we are assembling front and rear spars, and building an inventory of diagonal truss pieces and plug ends.

    Let me know if you need any drawings.

    Site migration

    Ian, I tried your website at the weekend and could not find what I was looking for.

    In the past I have searched, located, viewed and purchased several drawings.

    The Lancaster PDF download is missing ( not viewable on my mac).

    Finding what I was looking for on the spitfire list is now a bit hit and miss compared to the old approximate view of the drawing.

    Sorry – but not better than it was…

    Hi,

    Yes – there is much less functionality on the new Site. The old Server had become corrupt and we were faced with a large bill to replicate the old site.

    We, therefore, opted to go with a scaled-down version without previews of drawings.

    Advertising

    I understand they are being serviced now as otherwise they would have attended – not 100% sure on this but I would imagine someone from BBMF or someone who has perhaps been there this week could confirm.

    PS: Met Office is predicting sunny weather for tomorrow a.m (Stansted), max. temp 15c with 13mph wind.

    …..

    I’d be happy to advertise this type of event on http://www.warbirdsrestoration.com/news in future

    Being really pedantic….

    The Essex/Herts boundary goes through the outskirts of Sawbo.

    But you’re right the airstrip that I referred to IS in Herts.

    AutoCad

    We can convert the tiffs to dxf which most CAD systems will read.

    Have to charge a little more but not a problem.
