Plenty of time has passed since this thread was active…

I am happy to say the information received has been put in good use.

The model Lynx is now finished, work on the rest of my model is proceeding rather well.

As the building continues, I have come across another difficulty, so I am again writing for assistance.

I am lacking positive information on the instrument panel of the Avro N. I already have all known drawings, some good some bad, but I have a good idea about the layout.

What I am missing is photographs, which are much more definitve. I could not find any of the instrument panels. The sole sutviving example in the Danish Museum is heavily modified, so not good as a basis either, as can be seen from the attached pictures.

Can anyone help please? Even photographs of contemporary panels from similar aircraft will do, or even of individual instruments such as altimeter indicator, airspeed indicator, RM indicator, oil pressure, watch etc…

Better than nothing…

Thanks,

George Kandylakis

Well, that wasn’t long, was it?

A more careful look at the photographs brought out the first problem. The engine in Sywell and that in Denmark are different ones…

The Sywell, as the one in my section drawing have cylinders with approx 23 colling fins.

The one in Denmark has 34… Also the crankcase is markedly different.

Checking old Flight advertisments for the Lynx, I also count 23-24 fins, for an engine captioned as 180 h.p Lynx. The rather blurry pictures of the Greek Avros also seem to be 23, plus in a Flight issue of 1925-26 the engine is stated as 180h.p. So this seems to be a good match.

My only problem is I need to discharge all the information of the Danish engine, as it is probably a different model. Maybe a 240 hp?

But the caption of the Sywell plaque also states 240hp supercharged?

Help???

If, as it seems, the Sywell engine and the one usd by the greek Avros is one and the same, then I wouldn’t mind some more pictures, if it is not too much of a trouble. Feel free to improvise about the number and angles…

Thanks (again) in advance

and the diameter of the mounting plate…

Hi John,

that is excellent, thank you very much !

Another question, in case anybody recognises it.

While searching for drawings, I came across the old Aeromodeller drawings, but also a picture odf a more modern and rather better detailed 3-view by A. Granger. Unfortunately, I do not know the source. It seems to be a booklet or a magazine. Any ideas?
