Given that the RR Heritage Trust have done some detailed technical publications on various Rolls Royce engines can anyone please advise if a similar publicaion is available on the DB600 seres engine, be it an English or German pubication!
Many thanks

*Edit* does look like it goes off runway surface left, dirt clods come from right hand side. Don’t see or hear anything that would suggest engine issue from the video but of course you can only go off what’s in that video
The guy starts swearing before anything visibly happens in the video, then at 23-25 seconds clods of dirt can be seen being thrown up whilst the aircraft is in a ‘normal’ attitude. Looks like it departed the runway to the right which is why the guy starts swearing before anything appears to happen then at 23-25 it perhaps runs into soft dirt off the runway which is why the clods can be coming up before anything appears to have occured to the aircraft, why it then continues to get airborne I do not know. Just observations from the video.
Rudders appear to go hard left as people have stated above
Thanks chaps, I think you’re right that slowly but surely will win the day! The magnetic indicators will make a big difference to how it looks so I’m looking forward to finding some, I think they are the small dowty type? Thanks for the help and pointers guys, much appreciated, I’ll have to try and narrow down which a.c. this panel came from not too many to chose from!
Thanks for that, that seems about right, I looked under the fascia and there are two screw holes opposite each other on the instruments without the big clamps, anyone have any idea what they look like?
I have fitted a couple of NOS instruments, worked out the altimeter is the same as the Tridents stby and the horizon is a Ferranti FH7. I need a couple of AEI switches and I think the magnetic indicators are going to be the Dowty Dolls eyes but not sure, need a load of them. If anybody can assist I would be most appreciative, very expensive to purchase all off ebay and there arent any on ebay at the moment!
cheers

Thanks for that, much appreciated! Managed to purchase a couple of instruments and fitted the synchrometer in its clamp which is nice but i’m wondering how do you fit the other instruments in this panel?? They all have a single corner screw on the instrument panel, there must be some sort of mounting clamp arrangement I am missing out on here, any help would be appreciated here guys!
Thanks
Matt
Thanks guys, if anyone spots any instruments then let me know!
Cheers
Matt
Oh thats helpful thanks, do you have the parts number list? Looks like a Tcas was fitted in mine at positon 23 (not sure what 23, is OAT gauge?) so perhaps it was from one of the heavy lift aircraft
Thanks I was pleased to find it, is there a source for the parts lists etc to work out what is required? Can only find some poor quality photos on the net so difficult to work out exactly which instruments are in it. So far I think it has a Ferranti Mk6 horizon in the bottom left but thats it so far!
Hi Mathias,
Thanks for the reply, it will look even better with the improved cowling, good luck and congratulations again!
Matt
Hi Matthias, congratulations! Does this 109 have the fo987 oil cooler fitted?
