Thanks for all the replies, guys. I take it no-one remembers the Canberra model, then? If it’s not in the auction catalogue, is it possible that it went to another museum? Surely it wouldn’t have been thrown out, or did this happen with items that didn’t sell at the auction?

Sorry to resurrect this thread, but I’ve been asked to ask if anyone knows what happened to one of the objects that used to be on display at Southend. Apparently, they used to have a half-model Canberra which had been used in a wind tunnel at Warton, but it’s not been seen since the museum closed down. Does anyone know where it went and is it on display at another museum? I don’t think it was a particularly big wind-tunnel model, possibly only two or three feet in length, but I can’t be certain of the exact size. Any clues or suggestions would be most welcome.

Thanks for the suggestion – I’ll give it a go.

Assuming this is in the UK (you don’t say where it is, but I’ll assume UK), I’m pretty confident that this is not radar, and it is certainly not early radar. To my untrained eye, it looks like it could be a bomb or other munitions store – all the buildings are fairly well separated and on the coast, so it seems ideal for that purpose. It doesn’t look like radar or any other signals – certainly there are no masts so if it is, it would appear to be disused.

If you can provide a rough location, it might be possible to give more definite information.

Thanks everyone for your contributions which are much appreciated. Thansk especially to Mondariz. The model has Scottish Airlines on the side, so you would appear to be correct with your identification. Thanks again.

The ASB radar was fitted to a number of Fleet Air Arm aircraft, including FAA Avengers and, if I recall correctly, Barracudas.

AN/APA-1 was the display unit for the US Navy ASB radar, which was carried on a variety of aircraft types such as the Avenger.

Hi everyone,

I am currently researching the RAF in Northumberland and I am wondering if anyone has pictures of aircraft at the following bases as it is something that is never covered very well…??

RAF Acklington, RAF Ouston, RAF Eshott, RAF Brunton, RAF Milfield, RAF Morpeth (Tranwell), RAF Boulmer, RAF Charterhall etc…..

Thanks and cheers to anyone who can help!!

I am surprised you think this isn’t covered well. I assume you are aware of Action Stations 7 by David J Smith, Airfields of North-East England in the Second World War by Martyn Chorlton, Milfield, not just an airfield… by Alan Evans and Northumberland Aviation Diary (and its supplement) by Derek Walton. There are undoubtedly other books, but these are just a few I’m aware of.

Incidentally, Charterhall is in Berwickshire (ie Scotland), not Northumberland (ie England) and has already been covered in two different editions of The Charterhall Story by Jack Thompson.

Thanks very much guys. This certainly looks right. Although there are a variety of different types shown for Beech 18s on Airliners.net, one or two are pretty well spot-on. I’m happy to say we’ve found a match so thanks to SadOleGit especially, and TT also, for the ID.

Thanks for the comments so far, but c’mon guys – surely someone knows what this is from. Isn’t anyone going to rise to the challenge and come up with an answer?

I didn’t mention this before, to see what information came out, but this came from a chap whose dad worked for International Alloys. It apparently came from the Brabazon, which was being melted down by the firm.

Does anyone know if any of the numbers tie in with Brabazon components and/or which part of the Brabazon it might be?

The central pin with the U-shaped connectors at each each revolves freely along its axis within the ‘drum’ housing. Also the nut within the U-shaped connector swivels where it is connected at the two sides. Presumably there would have been another at the opposite end which is now missing.

I hope this helps explain how each part of this item moves in relation to the others and thereby provides some idea of its use.

Thanks for the posts so far. Any further information would be most welcome.

James,

Thanks very much for taking the time to post this information. It’s really helpful ansd much appreciated. Apo0logies for taking so long to say thanks, but I’m away from home, and it’s taken a while to get online access.

David,

I don’t have a copy of this book. Would it be possible to post the information relating to 19183, or the bibliographical details? The former would be better, if possible, because it could take some time before I’m able to get the book and having the information available sooner would be ideal.

Any help you can provide would be much appreciated.

Dave,

I assume it is taking place at Cowie and that, as you say, there has been a mix-up in the editing. I can only presume the editor got mixed-up with a reference to the memorial plaque at the museum to RNZAF aircrew killed in Scotland during the war.

Whatever the mix-up, I just wanted to make sure that forum members didn’t come to the museum on Saturday expecting a memorial unveiling.
