No.  No, no, no, no.  I say NO...

I'm curious to what parts will start to shed when compressed...  Tail looks mighty squishy at high speed.... :noid

Nice pic nrshida.

Come on now, we only need 100 blokes to donate  £1 ($1.50 exchange rate?) each to get the  performance and handling file scanned from the public records office. Then send it off to Hitech and we should have it about 2 weeks after that? You know it makes sense!  :)

I'm afraid it's £199 RTHolmes, public records office. That's for an electronic version by the way.

where is this public records office? surely someone local could pop in with a digi camera and copy it all for free? if its in the UK isnt it free to access (although they can charge what they like for providing copies ...)?

Apparently you can't do that, the £199 is for them to fetch it for you. It's in the National Archive:-

https://www.nationalarchives.gov.uk/catalogue/displaycataloguedetails.asp?CATLN=6&CATID=5007594

AVIA 18/691, "Whirlwind aircraft: performance and handling trials".

Says it's in Kew.

Both Baggy and I applied for a copy and the quotation was £199, in my case that was for a downloadable electronic version.  :rolleyes: :cry

Unless anyone knows of another way to access such things? I also expected access to this kind of stuff to be free or else very close to it.
