Undercarriage

Posted by Chris Hayward on January 24, 2012 at 6:45 AM

I have made contact with MessierDowty and they are going to search through the archive for any drawings of the undercarriage as fitted to the Whirlwind.

They do have information on the Gladiator so lets hope it includes us as well.

Fantastic! I believe we have some drawing numbers if that is of any use? (just not the drawings)


Drawing number would be a great help.
