Did the same problem affect DC-4s?

But not in 1945 I think.

I believe that the first orders were placed in 1945.

BOAC’s eyes were on the Constellation

Even more so on the Stratocruiser.

However, it has a pale blue/grey underside and darker grey upper, along with the leading edge yellow band, not very reminiscent (at least to me) of a Hurricane scheme. More American, perhaps?

Sea Hurricane perhaps?

Personally I have never seen this, especially in mass production, accessibility notwithstanding most aero bolts (indeed all things spitfire) are high tensile making that difficult; Rolls Royce didn’t use torque wrenches on the assembly of Merlins (etc) as everything was pre drilled and then hardened.

Thanks for the info – I have only seen the post-torque drilling in other industries.

I can’t see how any bolt with a split pin can have a torque figure, especially if it only has one hole,

Is the hole not drilled after the nut has been torqued up?

Now is probably the time to ask the pipe laying company if they might be interested in a recovery … Especially while the ROVs etc are in the area.

I don’t read Finnish. Is this in salt water or a freshwater lake?

Gulf of Finland is salt water, part of the Baltic Sea.
