Fantastic information, thanks a million! Interesting to note the metric measurements on the Martinsyde, and the change of flying/landing wires to lift and anti-lift wires on the RE8.

Glad you enjoyed them guys and thanks to Des for posting them up.
Yes Aroth it's similar to the book that you posted up but a different set of aircraft.

Cheers

Thanks for sending these in, Dave, and welcome to the forum!  Thanks for posting these, Des.  ARoth, thanks for the info on your book.  I'll have to look it up and see if I can find a copy.  Is it still in print?
Cheers,
Bud
