Thank you all once again. Some rather good recommendations here many of which I may take up.

Also used by the RAF. I’ve seen pictures of a WAAF using one at a GCI Station.

DH Moth Club rally at Woburn 17/18 August would seem to be ideal for you……

Planemike

Indeed it would but very sadly I’m required to commit regicide at Bosworth that weekend. This time the Stanley’s are going to make sure Richard stays buried!

Thank you one and all. Keep them coming.

It’s time to get a magnet out!

The R1155A was used in the Halifax and should have an aluminium case. If your magnet sticks to the case it’s been replaced with the standard steel case used on most of the other models (quite a common occurrence).

And jolly good books the Mushroom Models publications are but the Haynes manuals offer a more technical approach to the subject. It would fuel my completely unrealistic desire to own one of these beautiful objects. That’s never going to happen as I could only just afford the Silver Wings Hart kit and am now dreading the fact I’m going to have to do some surgery on it to make it into a Hart (India).

Interesting…

Posted a reply but I’m not listed as the last person on the thread and the topic didn’t move back to the top.

Has anyone else ever had this problem?

What an interesting suggestion and one I wasn’t wholly prepared for.

What I’d like to see is a volume covering the Hart family (Hart, Demon, Audax, Hardy, Hind, Hector, Heatbeest & Nimrod) as well as the Fury & Nimrod although as an alternative it could just cover the Hind in the same way the Hurricane book is based mainly around the Mk. IIC. I would guess that it would follow the tried and tested layout of the previous editions, (History, Anatomy, Restoration, Owner’s View, Pilot’s View & Engineer’s View) and look into the work undertaken by the Guy Black empire (Retrotec, HAC & Aero vintage) SkySport, Shuttleworth and of course the ever splendid Hawker Hind.com who have pretty much written the book in web site form already.

There you go, a very vague and ‘off the top of the head’ synopsis for you.

Now where did I leave that naturally aspirated Kestrel?

It is, and a Fairchild one at that although I couldn’t tell you the model number.

Not sure it’s an aviation related object as it looks very much like a Line/Cable firing rocket.

If my memory is working correctly the RAFM have two starboard uppers for a III (one on show at MAM) and a port upper for a IIIA. Although similar in construction the root end spar fittings are quite different between the two marks.

I don’t know if these are the materials used on the oil cooler but the B grade solder you quoted is listed in Isaac Pitman’s 1935 Inspection of Aircraft After Overhaul (Category “B” Licence) as:-

Grade B Solder, 50/50 Tin/Lead, 205°C Melting point.

Grade A Solder, 65/45 Tin/Lead, 180°C Melting point. Is recommended for repairs as it’s lower melting point would not affect the grade B soldered joints

It doesn’t list the brass sheet but it gives the composition of the brass tube used in radiators (2.T.47) as.

68% to 74% Copper with the remainder being Zinc.
With impurities as not more than
0.1% Nickel
0.5% Lead
0.5% Iron
0.006% Bismuth
0.005% Any other metal excluding silver.

I can’t get the images to open but this looks similar to the pneumatic firing mechanism fitted to the bottom of Browning machine guns.

What you have there is a Weybridge blade Drawing Number DR 513 used on a number of Rotol propellers fitted to Hawker Hurricanes and Fairey Fulmers.
