Quick.
Someone tell the Australian Govt it doesn’t work before they stuff up our defence forces.

Oops. Too late.

I am after the 2 Attitude Indicators for a Wessex.
Any leads would be greatly appreciated.
They are as rare as a politician that tells the truth in Australia.

Rod,
it was seeing the QAM’s one that got me interested in fixing ours.

Took the family outside to see it go over just to the S/W of us about 15 minutes ago.
Hard to believe that’s it. No more.

Richard, Hangar space at this stage is not too much of an issue. We have a Pentad Hangar that the Museum colection is housed in. But it won’t take long for that to disappear.

David, I fully agree. But after recently buying a Canberra T4 Canopy from the UK, the shipping costs alone would outweigh at least the materiel costs that we would put towards this. As for time; we have a group of volunteers that are always looking for new projects to start on or even use as practice.

We recently used a UK based shipping agent to get our T4 Canopy here.
The only issues we had were with AQIS who inpounded it for fumigation of the wooden box etc.

Terry,
I take it they are a hard item to source?
Wouldn’t they be a mirror image of each other?

P-K,
We have nothing to prevent it from sliding back, also nothing that stops it from lifting either. I’ll double check to see where this peg should be.
On each side there is 4 rectangular cut-outs that look like they should containg something along the lines of a small rail that should prevent it from lifting.
Finding a Maintenance Manual or even decent clos-up pictures is proving to be a right pain.
