I had a look through this file, yesterday, and it may prove to be a disappointment for you. It’ll need more careful perusal, but most papers seem to concern European recipients of aircraft, and mainly the Ju-52 at that, with Norway and Sweden figuring most prominently. When I’ve had a proper look, I’ll let you know, but it doesn’t look very hopeful.
Drawing 30030 sheet 33 (which the RAF Museum has) shows the add-on laminated panel, and has the legend, “When assembling the B.P. panel see that the side with the thick lamination is facing for’d – this is marked on the glass.”
The drawing for the b.p. glass is listed as 30030 sheet 323 (which I don’t have,) and the frame, holding it, is in two halves, numbered as 30030 sheets 367 & 368, with a thin strip of armour 30030 sheet 369 along the bottom. Sorry, but I don’t have those three, either.
From the disrespect I saw from people while I was in the supermarket, despite them announcing the two minute silence, I don’t think it would mean a lot to many
You should have been at the IPMS show, on Sunday, at Telford; even though, for obvious reasons, it had to be two days early, nobody moved, or uttered a sound.
Can’t really go along with the idea of a holiday, though; holidays are for fun and relaxation, while today is a day for tears and reflection.
Two sets were made up and tested, and the behaviour wasn’t liked; Camm seems to have been disinterested, and Farnborough didn’t want to spend any time making them acceptable, so the whole idea was quietly dropped, with the Typhoon taking precedence.
Camm wanted to fit the Griffon into the Hurricane, and prepared some drawings, but it required the centre-section spars to be raked forward, to bring the wings forward, to get an acceptable CoG. Camm was told to forget it, and concentrate on the Typhoon.
The Mark III fuselage, just as with the Hurricane II compared to the Mk.I, was 4″ longer than the previous (and subsequent Mk. V & VI) fuselages. This led to the u/c being raked forward 2″, simply by inserting a wedge between the pintle and the mainspar; this change was continued on the Vc and later Marks.
With the extra weight “up front,” it’s entirely possible that the oil tank was moved aft solely so as to minimise its effect on the CoG. Modifications to the Merlin 45 air intake meant that it, too, was slightly longer, but this was circumvented by turning the carburettor controls through 180 degrees, which tucked them under the engine, meaning it could still fit into the original Mk.I space, leaving the cowlings untouched.
he will happily point that out to me at every available opportunity
I actually find the incessant stirring utterly depressing
Water off a ducks back, though.
Shouldn’t that be a vulture’s back?
There was more, but getting a sensible response is rather like trying to hold water in a sieve
For those with a genuine interest in the subject, there’s a report of an interview, from 6 years ago, with Roberts, in next week’s Radio Times; I remain unconvinced, but that’s probably due to cynicism increasing with age, and matters little to those in authority.
If you miss it, there’s a second chance on BBC2 Thursday at 7.50a.m.
Even more unnerving, if you’re a West Ham manager; Sam Allardyce was kissed by him on Saturday.
Or he could have posted them here to let younger readers put the crime into context. Emotions ran high on both sides.
It comes as no surprise to see you leaping to this creature’s defence, but it would be appreciated if you had the courtesy to read what was written. The existence of the chants is not disputed, just whether we really need, yet again, to read every word that was said. Some like to wallow in such nastiness; others don’t.
If you want reactions to an apparently crass decision by an apparently thoughtless parole board, of course not.
If your interest is solely in stirring up a hornet’s nest of reaction for and against the police force and a murderer, while sitting back, under a cloak of anonymity, smugly enjoying any over-reaction, then of course you do.
Someone mentioned having to read exam questions back then, very carefully. I do remember being tripped up like this and felt it was unnecessary. The questions were hard enough. What were they testing you on anyway, your maths or reading ability?
When we were approaching O-levels, our maths master went to great lengths to warn us to stick to the “proper” way to do the papers; he said that, due to the number of examinees, everybody was drafted in to help with the marking, even the canteen staff (I think he was joking, but we were very careful during our “mock” exams.)
Just going by what you have mentioned..
As I said, you assume too much.
So you follow me around, claim these threads are a waste of time whilst still posting on them, and just so that I don’t get ideas above my station? How perfectly base. Where do you suppose my station is?
If you stop allowing your ego to get in the way, you’ll see that I do respond on threads to which (thankfully) you do not reply (I can’t say “contribute,” because that would be overstating things,) so “following you around” is (as usual) a gross overstatement.
Nice to hear you also have an imaginary friend, Edgar.
All of my friends are real, but you do love to assume whatever suits your particular agenda, don’t you?
So why bother to post, unless it is because you are following me about, debunking me. Are you my stalker as well as trying to be my god? Or maybe you fancy me
1/. Because somebody has to, otherwise you’ll continue to get ideas above your station. 2/- & 3/- Of all the nonsense you’ve spouted over the months, that has to be the most hysterically funny.
22s =5280d + 3d 5283d x 1600000 =35200000 / 240 = £3,522.000
But have no idea, if that’s the correct way to do it..
Neither do I, but 22/3 = 264d + 3d = 267d (not 5283 – were you thinking 2400d per shilling, instead 12?) x 160,000,000.
Actually, I took the initial amount in £s, divided by 10 (2s =1/10 of £1,) divided that figure by 8 (3d = 1/8 of 2/- ,) then added the three amounts together :-
1,600,000 + 160,000 + 20,000 = 1,780,000, but I have no idea if that’s how rateable value is calculated, either.
Don’t know if these are the correct answers]
I got the same for most, though, having rented all my life, I don’t really understand rateable value, so arrived at £1,780,000
I made the last one £135 (810 – 135 = 675 + 20% = 810.)
