Searching for a scrap Pratt and Whitney Wasp radial engine if anyone can help please.
Thanks all, it does seem odd that the crewing seems to flip between 3 and 4. Looks like the poor old Nav is just ballast.

There are several versions but this diagram is for an Autopilot.
I’ve not got a picture to hand but it does look very similar to an ‘Air Dryer’ as fitted in several British aircraft as part of the auto pilot and bomb aiming systems.
It’s an Astrograph that is used to shine a star chart onto the top of the Navigators table.
I’m a member of the Metheringham Airfield Visitor Centre and it’s an area we are keen to learn more about too as there doesn’t seem to be much information regarding the unit. I’ve checked our archive and apart from the midair collision with Waddington based ‘Nick the Nazi neutraliser’ and Les Munro being the OC we have nothing.
Does Kew hold an Operations book for them?
I saw them today and it looks like work has started scrapping the worst of the two. I hope the cockpits can at least be saved if they are up for the chop.
All done, thanks
I’ve got a complete boxed F24 camera installation going spare if any interest.

I recently visited the Fleet Air Arm museum and the Bovington Tank museum and would put them both in the top 5 museums with Duxford and Hendon to visit while you are here. Number 5 would be HMS Belfast but the newly revamped IWM has truly dropped down the ratings since they ruined it.
[ATTACH=CONFIG]239921[/ATTACH]A few bits surplus to requirements if they are of any interest to anyone? Merlin engine rocker cover, P12 compass and a nice wartime 1942 dated Fire extinguisher [ATTACH=CONFIG]239755[/ATTACH][ATTACH=CONFIG]239756[/ATTACH][ATTACH=CONFIG]239757[/ATTACH][ATTACH=CONFIG]239758[/ATTACH]

Sorry to poach this thread but we are restoring a Fordson at the Metheringham Airfield Visitor Centre too. DBenz, we would be very grateful if you could share your pictures please.
Can anyone help with some Packard Merlin Rocker covers please and an RAE air compressor as per the picture? Thanks[ATTACH=CONFIG]238552[/ATTACH]
