    Geoff, I am working off a poor bearing – regarding first choice – should have been “we have choices; (1) find right bearings and make right posts or (2) get correct O/D and width and get bespoke posts made.

    For my canopy, I would opt for option (2) if (1) is no good. I will see how well this works and price it for all. ARCO had fun making posts etc apparently.

    Ant, I could do with the drawing of the front adjustable units please….they had to be cut off my canopy this am.

    spent last 2 nights trying to find the sample…..nowhere to be seen!!

    Also researching bearings; my bearings on the canopy are so corroded its not true. The I/D is 0.2inch, O/D is 0.803inch (Foray makes is 0.83), width is 0.460inch.

    SKF13300 is not the same dimensions.
    we have choices; find right bearings and may right posts or get correct O/D and width and get bespoke posts made.

    Lovely AH64 grips set there Ian! Well done. I bought the ugliest Harvard grip ever at Shoreham and a manky Gazelle.

    Swifter, your PTT looks like the smaller unit fitted to BAC1-11.

    I do! it is English Electric Preston

    The poker arrangement means it is NOT canberra. Companies frequently made sub assemblies for each other. Also, a particular plant often kept its ‘stamps’ after merging of companies. As it is poker, me thinx Vulcan. Varsity, Victor, Valiant are possibilities – dunno why, but I am drawn to Valaint/Vulcan or Victor

    Hawker Survivors would be nice. Chatted to Graham years ago when he was contemplating it. Scope would be important. It may sound great to cover the whole ‘family’ but that leads either to a huge book (which may be of little commercial success – sorry, but that is important) or one with little detail. Given lineage of Fury/Hart/Hind family thru to the Hurricane (Fury monoplane!) – maybe that would be a good volume? It could include the Henley etc.
    I would contribute to it as I would also wish to buy it!
    Other volumes could then cover Hawker jets etc
