Hi Gary

If they are dealing with the sites as they are today/recent future then I would consider them amongst the aviation archaeology titles. I haven’t seen one of Eddie Doylerush’s books before so can really comment!

Surely not all the books listed are about aviation archaeology? Or at least not if by aviation archaeololgy you mean recoveries. For instance Eddie Doylerush’s No Landing Place and NLPII would be better described as history books,surely? I know Eddie would not think of himself as being an “aviation archaeologist”,in fact he has pointed out on several occasions(as well as in his books) that he hoped anyone going to the sites would treat them with respect and leave them as found.

Garry.

Thanks Alan

I saw yours and Nick’s lists – they are excellent and very comprehensive. Looks like even some of the rarer titles are available on amazon.

So sad. I don’t suppose you ever found any Whitley parts Vic?

Sorry to go off topic 🙂

The section pictured was recovered by myself and some collegues from Nostell priory nr. wakefield where it had been displayed, We became “involved ” with YAM and subsequently the then “Halifax Project” I donated the section of fuselage after displaying it at several airshows over the years,the then commitee decided that it was of no use to the project and i believe it was scrapped without any thought( it certainly wasnt used )and without consulting me,at the time this piece of fuselage was the third largest piece of surviving halifax and we had spent some time doing cosmetic work on it to tidy it up for display,i dont think its around now as previously stated.:cool:

That’s true Peter. Our front turret has small parts recovered from several Whitleys – the only source for these parts is from recoveries.

For the likes of the whitley project the smallest forgings would be of value.

Hi Peter

From memory 50- prefixed parts are related to turrets.

Cheers

Sadly not David – I do have parts of the control column including remains of the wheel itself. I’m sure an intact one will turn up eventually – just a hunch.

Thanks Bex

I have had lots of parts made already, however there is nothing like the real thing… 😉

Here’s a pic of the Whitley control column.

Anyone seen one or any parts?

Thanks

Can I suggest it might be a good idea to post a picture of the one you want?

It is perfectly possible that somebody has one in their possession, but fondly believes it’s off a Sopwith Camel or Comet 4b because that’s what they were mistakenly told years ago.

Moggy

Good point Moggy. I will scan a pic in.

Elliott – Am pretty sure that Ken Ward has one, but it would have to be an outstanding swap (probably lanc based) for him to part with it!

TT

Hi Ben – Ken doesn’t have one unfortunately – if only he did.

Hi Gareth

There are a few more in the pipeline – don’t worry 😉

No movement on the one Phillipa put me onto – difficulty finding the landowner.

I have a throttlebox! Next big bit is the control column, although we have parts of this I want an intact one.

Cheers
