hi all,

could someone let me have a scan of the fuselage station drawings for this aircraft, not bothered about size so long as the numbers are readable.

…..and what’s the word that mummy taught us all to use?!:)

Nice to hear at least one MR2 Nimrod is to be kept and it will be the first. Perhaps we could get one down here at Mawgan as it as linked to the Nimrod as ever Kinloss was/is….and I know a man with a trailer !!

Looking at the photo of the “Cpl” with the model, looks to me like the chap is actually a Flt Lt or Sqn Ldr and it is simply a wrongly captioned photo. They don’t look like Cpl chevrons to me.

I think he is a corporal…..when I saw piccie I thought he looked like a WO…but a search of his name and Kinloss gives Corporal several times….I think it is a Loadmaster (LM) chevron.

I have been challenged by corporals for being inappropriately dressed when walking in my flying suit at two RAF bases (once for no rank epaulettes) and once for no hat/cap! The pilot with me on both occasions took glee at pointing out I am a civvy Trials Officer! (FTE):)

sorry no old chap….would like to be but girlfriend wants me to do some boring house guff!!! yawn! Let me know if you want to pursue Whirly stuff….it would be a golden opportunity to create a syndicate of projects so that common expensive items can be made in bulk to drive prices down.
For my part, I wish to create a cut through cockpit taking in the windscreen, panel, stick down to pedals (a bit like my F46 cockpit). I have a complete original windscreen unit. As there are other threads on this, I have probably bored you all about it enuff!! The shot of my stuff is on another thread

I have a good selection and also have a screen that can be measured etc….now where are those mag switches????!!

Best resurrection of an old thread….great you went the year after and all went well….:)

top photo is the early prot sent to Boscombe Down….side views are from the pilots notes….
I have a Sutton Harness not fitted so will try to photo….they do come up on ebay
