Len Thomson Posted March 27, 2007 Share Posted March 27, 2007 Does anyone have a good source of reference for the Handley Page Harrow? I have a few pics, and a faily rough plan. Does a cutaway exist anywhere? All offers welcomed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dave Fleming Posted March 28, 2007 Share Posted March 28, 2007 Len, dunno if you have seen this one but it does give a reasonable reference to the insides. http://www.vord.net/609/harrow.htm And we thought the Wellington was complicated!!

Len Thomson Posted March 28, 2007 Author Share Posted March 28, 2007 Thanks Dave, but I got all of these already. I am surprised at the general lack of info, especially in the "Sparrow" transport form. Hardly anything in print. Methinks a visit to the RAF Museum might be in order.

Dave Fleming Posted March 28, 2007 Share Posted March 28, 2007 I have an old Aircraft Modelworld article on building the Sparrow, and I MAY have the Aviation News plans - I'll look tomorrow Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dave Fleming Posted March 30, 2007 Share Posted March 30, 2007 Not found them yet (What I thought were Harrow turned out to be Bombay - put aside for the Valom kit) Keeping looking! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Len Thomson Posted April 1, 2007 Author Share Posted April 1, 2007 Thanks Dave, let me know if you find anything...... Thanks Dave, let me know if you find anything...... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dave Fleming Posted April 2, 2007 Share Posted April 2, 2007 Mmmm, looks like AN didn't DO a Harrow plan (SO WTH do I remember seeing??) http://www.aviation-news.co.uk/aircraftpla...NITED%20KINGDOM Sorry Len. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John Posted April 2, 2007 Share Posted April 2, 2007 I'm fairly sure I've seen plans too. Did Contrail do a kit? It may be drawings from that I'm recalling. John Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Len Thomson Posted April 2, 2007 Author Share Posted April 2, 2007 It's the Contrail kit which I have. The plans are nothing special, and I am sure I could find some more detail somewhere. Any ideas if Aeroplane have ever done a "Database" on the Harrow? Dave, I looke through my old Aircraft Modelworld issues and found the conversion article. I'd forgotten about that. It was by Brian Monaghan.............. I will keep looking..... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mike Posted April 2, 2007 Share Posted April 2, 2007 For the benefit of numpties like me that didn't have a clue what a Harrow was, here's a pic: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mike Posted April 2, 2007 Share Posted April 2, 2007 Hmmmm.... take a look at this page. Quite interesting to see the HUUUUUGE flying aircraft models, but about 2/3 of the way down, there's a guy building a Harrow. It might be worth trying to find him & asking him where he got his plans from? Just a thought Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Contrail kit was made by Gordon from the plans in AFP and the post war versions had most of the plans redrawn and so this is about the best you will get I'm afraid.

Len Thomson Posted June 22, 2007 Author Share Posted June 22, 2007 Thanks John. Looks like I am stuck with what I have then. It is a future project so there is no real rush. I just love the look of this aircraft and want to model a Sparrow as in late 1944. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
