    I do believe that Canadian Warplane Heritage had to replace one of these during the rebuild of their Lanc. It was cracked. The damage was quite possibly done during a ground loop, much earlier in the aeroplanes history.
    I would be surprised if such an item would have been disposed of.

    Some fantastic photos!
    Thanks so much for all of the contributors to this thread. I’ll have to get there one day.
    The shot of the four de Havillands breaking ground looks like a whole lot of bang for the buck! FUN!
    The shot of the Dakota, above the U2, looks like it has enough left rudder to turn inside the building. 🙂

    Fantastic update indeed!
    I’ve really missed your writing style. So much so, that I sometimes leaf through the old Barra’ diary.
    What a wonderful crew. I can only imagine how many laughs, as you take the pi$$ out of one and other.

    Thanks.
    Please give my best to the team. :very_drunk:

    Fingers are crossed for you and your project Ian.
    This has been a very interesting thread.
    It is very reassuring to know that anyone breaking in to P.P.S. will not be pestered, by anyone responding to the alarm 🙂

    I agree with David.
    Nothing but friction and maybe corrosion holding them on.

    If you run out of luck in the U.K. I could get you static parts here in Canada, but the shipping costs are prohibitive.

    Wow!
    I’m amazed that no one has recovered that P-47. 😀
    It looks like it’s in pretty good shape.

    Cool pic.
    Thanks for posting.

    I thought that was the one that did not receive the ‘approval’ of the purists. Hopefully the ‘differences’ in looks did not contribute to the mishap, but I still don’t understand the desire to produce a replica that was not a true replica. Best wishes for a speedy recovery to the injured.

    As far as I’m concerned, the so called “purists” can go pound sand. This replica looked like it was lots of fun to fly and I applaud the effort.
    Newforest, I certainly second your well wishes to the crew, regarding a speedy recovery.

    So I have thought some more about this Inward (F-82) vs outward (P-38) at the top, propeller rotation.
    If you look at a line drawing of each, head on, you can see that the height of the wing is markedly different.
    The P-38 wing is basically at the same height as the centre of the spinners. F-82 is at about the bottom 1/4 of the prop circle.
    Any thoughts?

    I find it quite ironic, that each first prototype had props turning in the less desirable direction.

    This truly is a monumental undertaking as far as restorations go. Tom and team are amazing, true craftsmen & women.

    Someone smarter than I am will have to explain the prop rotation thing.
    I just confirmed my suspicion that the XP-38 was indeed the only P-38 to have the props turn inward at the top.
    All others turned outward.
    This is just the opposite to the ’82’s.

    Any thoughts?
