Hi Jonbouy,

Not on this forum as much as I would like as current workload is very high.....good for the bank balance anyway... :dance:

Anyhow, I digress....just saw your posting on the Fairey Hendon and went to my 'Library' and found a book 'Fairey Aircraft Since 1915' by H.A. Taylor.

Lo and behold there was the little devil on page 208 to 216 so I have scanned the 9 pages at 300dpi and made a PDF for you which is residing here http://briang.cbfsim.org/Hendon.zip

Apparently the Hendon has a rather distinctive 'Whitley' flying attitude in level flight so is rather different to say the least.

So there you are Jonbouy....a little 'Bedtime reading' for you.

Regards.

Bridon Bear :wink:

Superb BB!!!

There's enough there to keep me quiet for a little while :dance:

Having a fixed pitch prop should simplify matters although getting it to cruise at that attitude should be fun, its even a little bit nose up at the moment.

Nice to have the 3 view to go with the side view I already have, will have some remodelling to do now, not too much though most of my guesstimates were OK.

Thanks Again!!!

Regards

Jon

I note from current eBay sales that

AIRCRAFT ILLUSTRATED JANUARY 1974 and FEBRUARY 1974 seem to have articles on the Hendon.

Anybody got those?
