    Problem is that they pose little danger until you disturb the faces.

    In the Netherlands, at the moment some civil servant pose much danger to such instruments! If you have a few instruments at a shelf there is not much danger, but if you have a complete panel and you show it in a museum or at a show you can have real problems. The instruments containing radioactive material will be confiscated and proper stored at your expense:mad:

    Same crankcase and reduction gear, rocker mech, cyl heads and back end. Basically the Mercury was a short stroke “racing” Pegasus.

    Apart from the barrels, conrods and valve pushrods/shrouds and a few other detail differences it was basically the same engine.

    If you can get yourself a couple of non-runner Mercury engines from Canada you could have new barrels machined and dummy up the pushrod covers etc. and, hey presto, a Peggie:D

    Hi Anon,

    Why Mercury’s from Canada, are there many available there?

    Hi,

    As far as I know the Pegasus was very similar to the Mercury. IIRC the stroke of the first one was 1 inch longer than the Mercury. So perhaps many parts of a Mercury could be used. There is also a very interesting Dutch twin engined aircraft from that time that had no Mercury engines:confused:

    Regards,

    Mathieu.

    For Karl Lusink, he is still active with ARGA but they have no website. Perhaps the people of the SGLO might be able to help you to get in touch with him: (2) Facebook

    Some one sent me an image of the Frazer Nash Flare system. In the Manual of the Fokker T.V it is indeed called Holt flares

    It could be the vessels SS Albert Janus and SS Radbod which both were sunk on the 5th of December at the Norwegian West coast. Some info at: 10 vrak fra desember 1944 (www-dykking-no.translate.goog)

    I think Key publishing had good intensions when they decided to renew the forum, which is sometimes necessary because software get obselet. But it seems they met the wrong ICT dude who tried to reinvent the wheel, as these guys useual try to do. Why did they not use something like vBulletin? I have an aviation forum and use vBulletin which has many features we are missing here as standard and so far works fine.

    At this moment there is a non-flying replica under constructuion on the Island Texel, on the airfield on that Island there is a small museum that is involved in this project. I’ll see if I can find more info.
    According the owner, he owns the engine of the PH-AMG. I’ll asked him if I can show photos.

    Hi gents,

    Thanks for the replies. I don;t think the text was cast into the switch. I have photos that shows other type of switches and fuse with the same kind of text/letters. But than the text is made in seperate pieces of metal/plastic which is fitted between the nut of the switch/fuse and panel.
    Project is moving veery slowly, to many other projects on hand.

    Regards,

    Mathieu.
