From your comments,a few seem likely.I had just hand edited the engine nacelle to fair in the seven sided nacelle to the ten sided bristol pegasus. the extra parts needed to be added at the front of...

Ok, so there I am, rebuilding a pair of Bristol Pegasus radials and fairing them into the nacelles on my Overstrand. Pleased with the result, I produced to test fly. At the end of the production run...

I fully concur, just because we are quiet doesn't mean we are not here. I was always told (many many times) to be silent when the teacher is speaking.
Some stuff we already know but an awful lot is ...

What a pleasant bunch you all are.....Old Fart indeed.....Free Bus Pass.
I was an official 'Old Git' last year.
I can remember Gloster Meteors, DH Vampires, Hawker Hunters, Lockheed Warning Stars,...

We only ever shot prone and the grouping was after many attempts at the RAF marksman badge, shamefully I only ever did it the once as that was enough to get the badge and requalification wasn't...

That brings back a few memories.
When I was shooting full bore in the Air Cadets, we used service .303 Lee Enfields and fired a good 100 rounds per rifle in a day.
They were just as accurate in the...

It's so refreshing to know that I'm not the only on that gets sidetracked easily.
As the available Bumpf about the Vernon's flight characteristics and indeed a lot of other aircraft is non existant,...

My God, that was a while ago.
The sideslip was appalling and unless a gentle turn was instigated, a severe height loss was on the cards. A 360 degree would take up most of southern England, not...

It's quite possible that your joystick is fine but there is an underlying problem with the USB connection, I say this as prior to the death of my Evo, the joystick would apply full right rudder...

I have finally completed my flight from the Shetland Isles to Wales, the ATI Radeon card from Canada fitted my 'thrown out for the rubbish' PC and once the drivers were finally found after much...

To continue with the saga of my PCs, I have sourced a video card on eBay. The snag is it is in Canada at the moment, but for $10 and $11 shipping it's a bargain I can't turn down. I'll just have to...

I had just taken off from the Shetlands in my Warwick, set course for North Wales and as I was leveling out at 3000ft, boooof the screen went black. I run Windows ME and have had no problems like...

Er.....might want to look on wikipedia at this USRA 0-6-0http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/6/66/USRA_0-6-0.jpg/1920px-USRA_0-6-0.jpg

Hi Ivan, Chuffed to bits that you had a look at one of the Ivor the engine episodes, it was one of those kids programmes that I grew up with and 2D cartooning was the norm. As for your trip with your...

The reason I am biased towards piston engined aircraft is because of the reverse thrust available with a turbojet. I always seem to stop on a sixpence and proceed back down the runway before I know...

Yes I am having a look into a GWR 57XX class pannier tank loco (only because its fairly simple in shape, it was available for the vast majority of GWR lines and to please Ivan....its also known as...

Off the top of my head, I think it was down to the aerodynamics. The P51 had much better streamlining and that all important laminar flow wing whereas the P40 was fairly modern but still old...

I did have a footplate trip from Stratford upon Avon to Leamington Spa on board GWR castle class 5051 'Drysllywyn Castle/Earl Bathurst' way back in the 80's. An experience that so overwhelmed me that...

Hi guys, sorry I've been away for a while, I've been very very busy. A friend of mine from my days of restoring GWR steam locomotives at Didcot, Oxfordshire wanted an allocation of locomotives based...

Hi everyone, must thank Ivan for the Air file pointers, the Wellesley flies like a dream. I have rebuilt the rear fuselage, added blanking for the cockpits and at the moment trying to sort out the...

Yes, the project has been going for an embarrassing long time and has had new engine, wings, cockpits, fuselage. In fact it has been rebuilt more times as and when my skills improved. Most of this...

Hi everyone, as promised here is an early version of my Vickers Wellesley. There is still a lot to do, bleeds, minor construction alterations and the usual tweeks to get things right. The Air file...

Hi Ivan,
I was surprised at 97 rounds too but further into the book it states that the forward firing browning ammunition box contained 650 rounds. It also states that the propeller was a...

Hi Ivan,
I had all of the Bristol Pegasus specs from Wikipedia, they said more or less the same. Wikipedia is a great source for all aero engines including the more obscure like the...
