Title: Day trip to the Grahame white factory
Post by: drdave on February 16, 2015, 06:35:45 AM

A small sample. More when I'm home next week.

I took these with the iPad, but I got some HD detail pics with my SLR I'll upload next week.

I'll be looking forward to the extra photos, Dave, especially as I have a Blue Max 1/48 Sopwith Dolphin in the stash.

Best wishes

Nigel I was leafing thru this new cross and cockade book on the Dolphin at the museum. Very nice. 25 quid. I'm sure WNW must be planning one. Ugly though. The Albatros replica was stunning. Like a piece of fine art.

Again, thanks, Dave. It sounds as if the Dolphin book could be a Father's Day present from the family! When I paid a lightening visit to the museum - unaccountably without camera - I was much struck by the Albatros but very disappointed with the way in which the D.VII was displayed - perhaps it was an issue of available space.

Best wishes

Thanks so much for posting these DrDave, some great detail shots.

I do have a question for you or the others here: on the starboard side of the observer's office there appears to be a wooden handle clipped/secured to the sidewall. What is this?  What is it for? (Funny, it reminds me of the stick I used to keep when I was a TC on M113's. I used it to beat my driver about the head and shoulders when our commo would go out to tell him to turn left or right, stop, go, back up, etc. I wonder if it served a similar purpose for the observer?) ;)

Another great day! Went to the Shuttleworth collection.  Biff and SE5a weren't available and the Tripes away, but still terrific. The Spit VC is stripped bare too.

Warren, if you're talking about the RE8, it's the observer's control column. It's connected to the elevator controls and was also on the FK8: if the pilot was incapacitated the observer could have some form of control. If you look at pics of the outer starboard side on the FK8 you'll see the linkage, I seem to recall it was internal on the RE8.

Thanks Ian, that makes perfect sense, but it's just odd (to me at least) to see it sitting to the side and horizontal instead of vertical, etc. (Come to think of it, my stick was my "control column" for my driver. ;)  )

I'd love to see more images of this aircraft if anyone should drop in and is will to take and post the shots.

I haven't been since they reorganised it & moved the Biff & Fee over. Looks a lot more crowded - I can feel a trip coming on!

This wonderful collection of photos will certainly be most welcomed by anyone building a model of any of these aircraft, the detail you have captured is amazing and can't be found in a book, thank you Dave for taking the time to take these brilliant photos and also the time I know it takes to post them on the forum, very much appreciated not just by me but I'm sure by everyone else as well.

Thank you so much, Dave.  Wonderful photos! Makes a person want

on my bucket list after seeing this.

Cheers,

and lastly, note the Lewis at the Royal Armouries in Leeds with the wire frame outside the bag. Also this is Henry VIIIs show helmet, and emperor Maximillian's moustache helmet, made about 1540....

Forgot the maintenance hangar at Shuttleworth. Note the canvas lining covering the cowling frame on the Spitfire Vc, in Linen. Its authentic. The frame is not grey green, it has linen padding to stop cowling rattle.

Thanks again Dave for the additional photos, as Bo said, a treasure trove. Very interesting to see the wire around the outside of the spent shell collection bag, I wonder if this was the way they were all made.
