Hi Bruce – Tony Agar confirms its a T3 part
No problem Denis – go ahead… BTW your long awaited items will hopefully arrive in the post by Friday…!
Thanks Bruce – I googled it and found this…
L98601 Lever assy. radiator flap control B 158 OK 0139
Seems to fit!
Wow – looking great Alex! Well done. I’ve sent some pics through of the correct shades of finish for the fuselage interior, including cockpit green.
Excellent work!
Looks like a match Denys
Sorry Darrell – that’s got me stumped
Don’t blame the RAFM – as pointed out the Hampden was recovered by a private individual. I spoke to the son of one of the missing crewmen some years ago – I can assure you there were no hard feelings and he was delighted his dads Hampden had been located.
The restoration has been ongoing and this was a “long-term” project. Perhaps a change in direction on this particular project has prompted a new or revised management plan.
I think the comments you left on the site are a bit unfair Kevin. I would think any issues regarding the crew are best dealt with by the MoD.
Well spotted jeepman….
What a pity that it appears people were more concerned with recovering the wreckage than the 3 crew. Doesn’t say much for the modern RAF “care” does it?
and what’s with ? Surely that should be an initial stage, not halfway through the process!
I do despair at modern technobabble and business speak, no wonder they lost sight of the human side of the crash…….
As it’s American, maybe a post on WIX might get an answer…?
I just saw it – unfortunately I missed it first time round. Here’s the link http://www.bbc.co.uk/iplayer/episode/b00wt8ys/Dig_1940_Battle_of_France_and_Dunkirk for anyone who missed it!
A great programme – the Stuka was amazing.
Its not the back end of a glazed fuselage from a Fw 189 or something similar?
There you are – seems a bit daft paying £800 for a hurricane fuel gauge when you can use an anson one just as well…
I wonder what happened to all the drawings for these gauges – did smiths destroy them all?
If the Anson has a capacity of 38 gallons then from a practical (flying) point of view would it be possible just to recalibrate these for spits/hurricanes?
This is a casting not an angle. Angles in my experience are usually made of sheet aluminium, although I’m sure there are exceptions.
Where’s Fluffy – he should know if it’s lanc or not.
Hi Peter – if it is lanc ‘F’ should indicate part of the wing structure…
Sorry Peter – I don’t recognise it. What’s it made of? Any pics of the other similar item?
