    That will be a Vickers Hand Pump A.1066 as used on the Wellington.

    Powerfix, I have to pull you up on your comments about the “Skills Shortage” at Cosford. While the Dolphin has been a very long term restoration the bulk of the rebuild was actually done at Cosford. The skills are there but it’s a small team with a lot of jobs on their plate.

    Maybe the question should be what props does the replica have. Some of the replicas I’ve seen appear to have Rotol type blades with a deHavilland type spinner. The safe option for the Vb blades would be leave them black with 4” yellow tips which is correct for deHavilland and earlier Rotol blades. As for the Mk.IX, It would probably be fitted with Jablo blades which would be signified by a pink/red disk. For more info shove Jablo into the search function on this forum and see what you get back.

    Look for a Vocab staring with 27(and a letter I can’t remember at the moment)/. If it does it was for use on aircraft.

    Ignore last message. I’ve just measured the diameter of a Halifax engine fairing and that comes to 26″.

    The spinner use on the three bladed, Merlin engined Halifaxes was the ES13 which was same spinner used on later Whitleys.

    A quick flick of the tape gives a measurement of about 24″ for a Whitley spinner, however it’s so rusty I can’t tell you if I’ve just measured an ES1, Es10 or an ES13 all of which were used on the Whitley.

    24/72 = 1/3″ if you’re working on a certain Matchbox release.

    Junction Box Type 7 A.M. Ref. 5B/357 (latter are re-numbered as 10A/11842) = Standard Beam Approach. This is why it’s painted like all of the other SBA stuff, grey with a red stripe.

    Stirling? I should think so.

    Hi.

    Just wanted to bring this back up in case anybody had missed it the first time around.

    Any comments at all would be great.

    I assume from the photos that it may have had longer straps that have been cut off but wasn’t sure.

    Well I don’t recall any aircraft during the Battle of Britain requiring a Landing Brake (LB) parachute cos’ that’s what he’s got there!

    For future ref. Vocab 15D = ASR, Braking & Supply Parachutes.

    Vocab 15A = Man carrying parachutes.

    Just to cheer Anne up, I saw 5 or 6 of the old classic trolley accs in the disposal pen at Mawgan, I couldn’t touch any of them (local operator wanted one), but the based regiment later turned them into Roman chariots for a do!

    As long as they were Mk.5s that sounds like a splendid thing to do to them.
