    Hello Dai

    I’m sorry for the delay. I have had a look through my manuals – I can add that the spinner for the Fulmar I is the ES/3.

    I don’t have any blade profiles i’m afraid but I have PM’d you contact details for where you might find some drawings. When you first contacted me you asked about manuals, which I do have, but you seem to have efficiently gotten copies of these already!

    My blades are the wooden DB1140 type which actually fit a later hub (RS5/26) with the external cylinder. The RA4042 blades which fit the R5/2 hub are metal, unfortunately I don’t have any good examples of these but there are some on display in an aviation museum although I don’t think they would have too much in common with your DB191/A blades.

    Have you contacted the FAAM? They have a Fulmar and may well have some early blades in store.

    Out of curiosity, what is your intention? Are you planning on making new blades?

    Good luck
    Elliott

    That’s great Ian – that’s a pretty rare find. It’s so rare to be able to tie up a spot where an aircraft was scrapped on an aerial photo and then find parts from it as you seem to have done! Amazing…

    That goes for quite a few of the relics, FA. Modified during excavation. At least it wasn’t a toothed bucket. The exactor control is die cast alloy and the crud comes off quite well, wouldn’t hold out too much hope for the innards but I’m sure you can do something with it, Elliott. I’m guessing the wedge plate is Whitley to as it’s riveted to the Whitley wedge plate support. Teleflex control has most of the body corroded away but part number B10072 and an MHC V3 inspection stamp. Be still your beating heart?

    Just saw your new pics on the eu relics forum Ian – I do think you have a part of the teleflex controls there. The green alloy item below the wedge plate is Whitley – it’s a bracket which holds a camera wedge plate! Any part numbers on that strip with the three 5c/430 terminal blocks?

    Wow – you’ve found an exactor control! What kind of shape is it in? They were used to control the pitch of the prop on the Whitley… Looks like a great site!

    Oooh interesting Bruce – any numbers at all? Could it be from the AGLT or serrate electronic warfare set ups? Just a guess of course…

    Sadly not known. The turret is original – the fuselage is replica – I supplied the drawings. Thanks for posting Roger!
