I think that landing was absolutely brilliant, think how different John Beatties emergency in the Sea Fury was with a hung up landing gear [ due to the sea fury not able to acheive this sort of landing without cartwheeling. ]

Don’t forget that Ken is the chairman of the Norfolk and Suffolk aviation museum at Flixton and they are currently at the finishing stages of completing an autogyro museum extension at the museum showing Kens many achievements. Free entry too.

I think the AAM building is clever in design but a bit too dark.
If they painted the interior ceiling white [ big job I know] it would probably transform it inside.

Graham

Yes, Norfolk and Suffolk air museum at Flixton have two which are servicable and a third under restoration. they provide quite good entertainment for parties of school children!
I am told that the girls do rather better than the boys…

No it won’t happen, its got too much of a British slant on the story line so not suitable for world wide general viewing.

Hi Luke, I do have the profile of the laminar flow wing from a 1950’s document which has a graph showing the plotting points of the wing profile. I drew this up in CAD and it worked a treat. It has the profile at the root and at the tip. I am using this for a 1:32nd scale kit.
What I never found is an original drawing of the fuselage but I managed by taking measurements from photos from the side and matching known dimensions of a spitfire low back fuselage which are identical in certain key places as dimensionally they relate.
