I think she is all but there ready for engine ground runs, I would think Robs field is a bit wet at the moment but I would think she will feel the wind under her wings this spring.
hmmm now the collector ring discharges the correct side so the engine must be correct side up so we need to work out a carb that is DD and would fit the 1340
TT, I cant work it out because the carb would have to be re fitted, or its a down draft and not the Harvard type BUT can you alter the crank access to be handed ie right?, sump is not a problem it looks like he is running the dry sump system so no probs
Rear fuse is two halves knitted together, not good for airworthy.
Cockpit frame had breaks in welding, again not good fro airworthy.
Engine is a complete no no if it was the one I see with it.
Im sure the centre section had the wing join flanges ground off in parts.
That said its got a worth and its a nice item for a museum or back yard project but for airworthy project look elsewhere id say.
Was this the Ex North Weald, swap for a B.25 nose with Ace’s High, Gordon King, former Maidenhead Garden ornament, Ex Essex Museum, Ex Bletchley park ?
The Saturday market that operates there is the biggest in Europe. You would need to contact first the owner Epping Forest District Council and maybe something could be done in conjunction with the market operators. All the infrastructure is there including vast parking areas and loos, indoor hangar area etc. The council are keen to promote the iarfield for different uses but you would need to contact them quickly.
Its a brilliant venue for a big Aerojumble.
Mark V, I think using the live side IE Squadron area would be perfect and if it was on a Sunday you have the added delight of NO MARKET yessssssssss:D
