    Whoopee…a Grebe thread at last! One of my all time fav aircraft.

    J7530 was on the strength of the Armament & Gunnery School at the time of the mishap (10th April 1930)

    Thanks for posting the pictures.

    I was about to say that it could also be an Atlas but looking at the undercarriage I think you may be correct with the Siskin.

    I was playing with a couple of them about three or four years ago and if I remember correctly they looked very much like the object in the photo. I think the early models of H2S used a circular mount but later models like the Mk. 4 used a square mount. I could be rather horribly wrong though.

    Correct…It is an Anneorc question.

    They used de Havilland 55/1, 55/9, 55/10 & 6/2 hydromatic propellers.

    If you want to go diving on a Whitley how about P5009 in Loch Enoch. Bit of a slog to get to and don’t get any ideas about recovering it as it’s protected as a war grave.

    Ooh a post from the past

    Qldspitty, it’s insanity old chap!

    A bit of additional info to Flying High’s rather useful post.

    This blade was used on a number of props including Rotol R5/4F5/4, R12/4F5/4 and R18/4F5/4 which, as already stated, were used on Spitfire Mks VII, VIII & IX, Seafire Mks IA, IIA & III and also found on the two Hurricane Mk Vs.

    The blade is what’s known as a Jablo blade made from compressed laminated birch boards glued together with Casein cement. If this blade was made of Hydulignum the circle would be green. The R in RS only refers to the Rotoloid covering and not the blade itself.

    Last point, we can’t tell who made this blade yet as we don’t have the complete serial but as Flying High states we should find it at the root end.

    Back into cave…

    Anzani? They made motor-cycle and radial (not rotary) aero engines per war.

    Only if you consider having characters who never actually met, or existed in the same time period combined with a complete distortion of facts, accents, dress, locations and events to be inaccurate. 😀

    Well I found it very educational. I didn’t know that there were large conifer plantations in Scotland during the middle ages. 🙂

    It’s entertainment for crying out loud !

    Well it is funny!

    It sort of reminds me of the Comic Strip’s Hollywood take on the fall of the GLC.

    Don’t get me wrong here. I’m not bashing American films here. In the past they have proved that they can make good aviation films e.g. The Right Stuff but Pearl Harbour is one of the biggest loads of &^%££”&$&*£% that has ever been &^%$”&^%$ onto the silver screen.

    Pictures of the RAFM Spitfires (including the wings from MK356) and some other goodies at Stafford can now be seen in that other mag starting with the word Aeroplane and ending in the word Monthly.
