    Is that photo reversed as it appears to have an american flat four but the prop rotation is wrong.

    This one looks like a cross between a Super Universal and the Fairchild 82.

    Yes, I too have No 36, but I’m missing 2, 3 and 10. Perhaps we could all combine and have a club library each member holding it for one month at a time (tongue in cheek).

    I suppose we’re all assuming that because http://www.aeroflight.co.uk lists issue no. 36, and summarises its content, it was published and distributed. Is there anyone out there who can say that issue no. 36 exists because they possess a copy of it?

    I made a very quick visit to the RAF Museum on tuesday with a request to examine a certain exhibit. Clearance was very quickly arranged and a very busy but obliging staff member was able to give me 20mins of excellent assistance. Following handing in my pass I found I wanted another measurement on another aircraft. An obliging hall warden who on being reasured we would not need to touch the exhibit kindly held one end of the tape and I had the information I needed. An excellent visit and thank you and well done RAFM. Newark Air Museum is allways the most helpful of places as is Doncaster.

    Thank you for your answer. Whilst I take your point about the use on the Halifax I’m sure it will turn out to be a Rotol stock item and I feel sure that this was also used on the Wellington II with the Gallay radiator cowl. I know the dimensions now and I’m “sitting on them” until I have my patterns finished.

    Regards

    I’ve answered my own question by going to Hendon and doing my own survey. I am still interested to learn if this spinner type was used by other a/c (ie Wellington II).

    We had them on Canberra B.6’s in Libya in 1960. I recall one of the safety equipers was going to fill one with rum on the trip back to UK.

    There is the Putnams book by C.H. Barnes but it does not have a seperate section on it’s float production.
