You have a splendid loft their Rijnko. Very well stocked. I can scarecly get into mine. Another holiday of unfinished sorting. But plenty of wine.

Here’s my effort, based on a MK1. Thanks to Tony for filling the last hole although I’m still after a real 37 gallon gauge (not alone there). The flap lever is from P7533, the oxygen regulator from Mustang AP171 (remembering PO Brouillette) and the fuel tank push button from X4773 (remembering Sgt White). Still a lot of work to do. I would like to get the whole panel correct but without bankrupting myself.

Would love to see pictures Paul. I’m no expert on the innards of Whirlwinds but I’ve got a book with nice pictures in!

Two more from P6966. I wasn’t there so can’t tell you much more, just knew a man who was. It looks like part of the supercharger is still attached to the engine being loaded.

Disappointingly there was nothing obvious in the Foote collection from the Whirlwind, I’ll check his notes to see his version of what what was recovered.

The late Peter Foote collection. One shouldn’t prostitute one’s relatives, but if aunty Philippa had done the decent thing I could be typing this from the cockpit of his 109…

Excellent website there, Aerohistorian, the slide show is particularly informative. Interested to know what you have from the P61 and Hawk75, having redug both of these. Will certainly be paying you a visit.
