Hi All,

Pretty successful day at Solent Flight and I have a large zip file for you full of results. Please can you tell me how to attach a file on this PM thing...I can do it on conventional email but can't work this one out!

They were charming and very helpful...full of support for your project. The picture archive of 17 albums was out when I got there as Silver City are having some kind of reunion right now. So, I tackled the boxes of tech stuff.

Almost the last thing I picked up was the engineering manual for the B170 MK 31 and yeildedmassive amounts of detail.

Now, I've used your questions and grabbed things like bulkhead detail, window contruction and seating stuff as a start but I've developed a good working relationshipwith these chaps and they will have me back any time. So, please consider this as very much a "first swipe". Le me know moreof what you want and I'm sure I can deliver.

Also, I have established a contact with the owner of the Silver City archive for those more complex questions that pictures and manuals just cannot answer.......so just fire away and I'll get you the stuff.

best regards....

Ross

Hi Ross

Thanks for that.sounds great

Sadly you can't attach to a PM

You can upload to a host file sharing service and post a link in a PM or else you need to email it.

My email can be activated on the button on my posts

Yep some great stuff there

Pity I didn't have some of it a while ago.....even a decent side view I could have used. :lol:

I couldn't even get hold of decent Superfreighter plans so had to use Mk.I plans.....Mk.31 plans....photographs and a lot of point pulling :cpu: :o :$ :doho: :@

And more there as well

Funny.the tanks were only put in by guess work last nighht.............thanks to you I now have a diagram showing the exact position.........a real result as that effect the balance and is very important. :)

A really goes show Ross....thanks a lot :D
