Sorry CD – you are right. Merlin engined Lancs only used metal blades – Hercules engined Lancs used wooden blades :p

Lancs never used wooden blades

Wellington I think – that looks like an electric Rotol hub and it has wooden blades.

It’s a good idea – people love to get up close and touch, but would cost an awful lot of money.

Hi Cees

No, come on, you know me better than that.

The first parts of the Whitley centre section are now in the jig. In fact I was welding up steel tube two days ago…

The Whitley is as important as ever

Are you sidetracking from the Whitley Elliott?

Thanks very much guys

I now have a GA drawing for frame 11. I obviously need a few more drawings – i’ll go back to Hendon as suggested…

I see – the index file seems to have gone walkies when I visited! I’ll try again… If you have your CD i’d be most interested.

Yes, i’m sure they are there somewhere, but the last time I visited the drawings were all filed under the RAFM catalogue number, not the supermarine drawing number! I was hoping someone might have a set of drawings on a CD… If only life was so simple…

That’s why you’ve been so quiet! Looks great Cees, as usual. That truely would look at home in a national museum.

No I won’t – I don’t have the time!

Thanks for your reply

I think you might be when you understand the rules! Broadly, Inspection and repair, with fabrication of replacement parts is quite permissible under the rules. It is not permissible to manufacture a new aircraft. It doesnt matter who fabricates those replacement parts, as long as they arent manufacturing them…….!

Yes, most large aircraft used them (including Whitleys) mid war onwards. Nice item!
