oh happy days as a waist gunner in “c cup”

the point to note is that in the photo the rpm is reading zero therefore the engine is not running and therefore the generator is not producing power. therefore if the indicator is reading mid scale it must be a ammeter because it would be pointless to tell a pilot that his battery is totaly flat and impossible to tell him it it actually negative voltage

usual military problem evoked during times of peace

labour goverment cut backs

the poor old girl needed a upgrade but in usual labour style it was cheaper to axe her and then talk of a replacement for the next twenty years

yes u were right it was a yale now with wings fitted it is a step nearer completion

how about a new hanger live side with a operational C47 doing pleasure flying
with attached airbourne museum !!!!

The runway at duxford was re-surfaced at the end of last year but due to problems with the mix has started to break up in certain areas leading the IWM and the CAA agreeing to prop driven operations only from the runway. so no jets will be landing at duxford this airshow season,
it`s going to be a quiet year !!!!!!!!!!!!:(

the lysander is not as good as it sounds….
what you see is what you get…

I saw her at Brandon in Canada november 2002
the airframe and wings have been sheeted in alloy and we suspect pop riveted into the spars. and there is very little systems internally

it would probally make the basis of a good static but not much else
