Narrative:
Name “Junior She´s My Gal II”.
Shot down by fighter flown by OFw Scherer of 1/JG11 over Beilen, Holland. All crew bailed out. Pilot evaded capture for 4 months, but all were eventually taken prisoner.
Parts recovered in 1988.
John porter Lawes and Cyril vincent lawes were brothers of Edith Eugene W Lawes b1882 – d unknown.
who married Henry George (Harry) Carter in 1918.
Had two sons
Peter E G Carter 1919 – 1940
Michael A Carter 1925 –
Doubt if any Aunts still alive, as in 1911 Ediths sisters were Cissie 19, Kathleen 18 and Connie 11. but could have been in the 90s.
According to my calculations.
a = 1.892 d
b = 2.253 d
c = £46 10s
Took me a while to spot it, but – Is this a two-seater? What’s the story, Andy?
Edit: Google is my friend – from http://www.lothingland.co.uk/hso10.htm:
15th MAY 1944. At 6.57 pm an M.E. 109 enemy fighter from Serbst Airfield, Innsbruck, piloted by OberFeldwebel Winberger (an Austrian aged 25 No. BF 109 G.14) – two seater – came over the Herringfleet Road in a SW direction, hit a tree (half way between the School House and the gun site entrance) and shot into the gorge, hitting the eastern side. The engine buried itself in the side of the gorge, the wings landing further down, while the rest of the fuselage came to rest scattered on the west side. There was apparently no damage to the plane before the crash. The pilot broke a leg and was handed over to RAF Intelligence Officers. The wheels were still up on crashing.
Was this a deliberate defection? I can’t believe he flew all the way from Innsbruck..
Now we know. 🙂

I had to look it up 😎
Well said Edgar.
Then again nobody answered my question post 30.
This thread is titled. One law for the rich and another…….
So can anyone show a case, where a poor person has been treated differently in similar circumstances?

This made me smile.

So can we expect a rash of incidents in East Anglia, with damsels in distress, wanting to be rescued by a prince. :highly_amused:
AVRO Lancaster Hayes owner’s workshop manual.
Bomb doors. The two bomb doors run from just aft of the joint at Former E to former 22. They are made up of a central spar with nose and main ribs and are covered with a thin alloy skin (24 gauge). Each door has a hydraulic jack attachment at each end.
Most sources state Bomb bay is 33ft long, I am guessing they are 2ft wide, and 24 gauge thick. (0.0201inchs)
396 x 24 x 0.0201ins = 191.03 cu ins x 4 sides = 764.12 cu ins x 0.09 lbs = 68.77 lbs 31.19 kgs
So add in the main spar, ribs and rivets I would say the total weight of doors is somewhere below my original estimate of 856 lbs 388kgs.
I will possibly shot down here, but a guess of the weight of the bomb bay doors would be 856 lbs. 388kgs this does not include hydraulics operating the doors.
To get an accurate weight of the doors, we would need to know the size, amount of the component’s and what material they are made from.
Or take a door off and weigh it.:)
However let’s say each door is 33ft x 2ft x 2ins and made from solid alloy.
396 x 24 x 2 = 19008 Cubic inches alloy weighs approx. 0.09 lbs. per cubic inch.
19008 x 0.09 = 1710.72 lbs. 2240 lbs. = 1 ton.
We know the door is not solid, so how much space is taken up by air?
Let’s say three quarters air and one quarter metal.
1711 lbs. / 4 = 428lbs x 2 = 856 lbs. 388kgs.
Sorry, the cop rides it WITHOUT A HELMET? That was my point.
Maybe they called for a M/cycle cop.
In my area of Norfolk the police have a contract or agreement with a large recovery firm, so would have thought the same applied to the rest of the country. So the problem of getting the scooter recovered would not arise. They would just inform the recovery company to recover the scooter. The recovery company would then invoice the owner for the recovery.
Interesting question. I first looked at ford was not sure what type of brakes they used.
While Ford acknowledged there was a need for brakes, he didn’t think there was a need for anything fancy. The Model T, which arrived in 1908, had service brakes applied to a drum inside the transmission—and Ford used these mechanical brakes through 1938. Ford was, in fact, the last auto manufacturer to switch to hydraulics.
so discarded that the idea Ford was supplying the pipes.
I then found this
Automotive Products, commonly abbreviated to AP, was an automotive industry components company set up in 1920 by Edward Boughton, Willie Emmott and Denis Brock, to import and sell American-made components to service the fleet of ex-military trucks left behind in Europe after World War I.
In 1928, they obtained a licence for the manufacture and sale of the Lockheed Hydraulic Braking System for the British Isles and Continental Europe,[1] and in the following year they acquired a controlling interest in Zephyr Carburetors Limited which had premises in Clemens Street, Leamington Spa. A subsidiary company named the Lockheed Hydraulic Brake Company Ltd was formed and brake component manufacture began.
So would assume by 1935, Germany would have companies manufacturing Lockheed pipes or plenty of pipe in stock.
