The mirror looks like the classic rectangular early war rear view mirror on a longer stalk. Would have enabled the pilot to see bandits attacking from below the tail…clever.
Early Hurris had shaving mirrors inside the canopy, better than nothing
£1000 is cheap for this item. I feel that we should go for it…pure and simple.
DaveT you have my email I think, I will pm it to you anyway.
I could put it in more money, suggest that we send emails addresses to me or DaveT as he is closer and get this moving. I would suggest no more than 6 in the group with each accepting that if they wish to get rid of their share, it is offered to the others.
Roll Up Roll Up your chance to actually save something worthy!
snip…
It would be nice if someone (or a consortium of us ?) managed to at least prize it from neanderthal man, if only to sheet it over in a field for a rainy day..
Dave T – great idea!! Now we can see if anyone will put their money where their mouth is!!….I will pledge at least £200 if we can get a quorum…possibly may have somewhere to put it if it ever visited A&AEE
XN293, with regard to your query about the round holes in the side of the fuselage, are you refering to the hole all the way through the rear fuselage through which you fit the tye-down bar for high power ground runs?
yep goes through castings on joint Q-Q, it is also for trestling the rear fuselage
Seafire47, I bought the Epson 4490 from Jessops, it is superb and will scan all formats of negatives. It has various ‘masks’ covering slides and negatives (you could make up other masks for other formats and override the ‘auto identify’ to scan other negatives.
Hunter XF382, you need a scanner with a ‘back light’ in the top opening section of the scanner.
The 4490 is good value at £125 and has been used on all formats…I bought it to do my Grandads negs and slides as I did not wish to send them away!
Everybody meet Angel….must be one of the few joint custody dogs in the UK! I love her to bits!

As Camlobe stated it has a 2 speed supercharger. That said the Merlin is a tad bit longer (3 or 4 inches). The intermediate cowling is longer, the engine bearer main plate is slightly different. The tailwheel is bigger and the tail leg is more beefy on a Mk.II. Very early Mk.Is had fabric covered wings, venturi’s, Watts 2 blade, external armoured screens (which are totally different to the Mk.II, incidentally the Science Museum is the only example to have the external screen). Those are the major differences off the top of my head! There are of course lots of cockpit differences.
Very nice…keep em coming chaps
As far as I am aware, the membership of one forum does not automatically exclude one from membership of the other. I have friends in both ‘places.’
Tony.
Happy to come to any meet I can get to, I remember the early ones well. Did we ever get any further with my Hurricane back armour?
Regards,

Thanx Kev
not sure we can find out anymore without more info

Tony
It is fantastic to have two great Vets on this site! BTW thanx for what you both did for our freedom.
A few more for you….Hampden, Blenheim and two Spits (one made in a wartime factory – covered in Flypast in late 80s IIRC) 🙂
Very very nice Alan…thanx for sharing them with us.
