    Almost forgot. When they do take it back down it will give them a chance to fit a real jet pipe to it as apposed to the replica that is in place at the minute.

    What goes up can come down.

    I’m not a fan of plane dangling but if it gets the punters in and makes room for more aircraft to come in from the cold so be it.

    Not happy…but not outraged.

    I’ve seen quite a few of these and all of them have been black. Looks like someone has been playing with their left over stash of Humbrel paint. 😀

    Standard Coastal Command Issue. If you can get your hands on the Osprey book The Royal Air Force 1939-45 (Men at Arms 225) there is a nice illustration of a chap wearing one in plate H-1.

    Cor this is a bit good isn’t it. What a way to waist a day.

    Have a look at Kabul…lots of good stuff lying around the airfield there.

    Hmm…looks like the drawing number may have been lost. de Havilland props for Spitfires have the drawing numbers P55409/b for the bracket types and DP454509/A for the Hydromatic types.

    Bruce, I think you may be correct about that stamp, don’t know who ALY is though.

    Elliott, keep your eyes open for any of the following Rotol blades, RA4042, RA4060, DB1140, RA682, RA4071 & RA10052 and P55268T/3 for de Havilland blades for all of these were used on Whitleys.

    Chears.

    Not a problem.

    There are three places to look. Firstly the blades drawing number should be painted on the face of the blade. If its not, look at the metal adaptor ring to see if you can find a drawing number there. In theory you should find two drawing numbers on the adaptor ring, one for the blade and one for the adaptor. In practice you tend to find that the numbers are unreadable or were never added. The last place to look is up into the root end where you should find the Drawing number carved into the wooden base.

    Happy hunting.

    I’m going to have to ask you to look for more drawing numbers I’m afraid. Have a look at the rim at the root end of the blade and you should find the Drawing number of the blade stamped into its side.

    P4520-1/1 is a deHavilland drawing number. I’ll have a look and see what I can find tomorrow.

    Warlord…I was a Warlord special agent! My favourite story was KampGruppe Falcon. Always though it was good that they had some stories telling the German side of things.

    As Peter Flint would say ‘Toddle-pip old chap’.

    It’s the Taining Schools examples which are up for sale. Don’t know how many they are getting rid of though.
