Ossington 2 Posted January 17, 2014 Author Share Posted January 17, 2014 Oops! I've lost some text. My scanner/printer/botophucket combo annoyingly re-sizes things. If you print the plan to 166mm between the arrows, it should be to scale. To confirm it, max width is 46mm and total length 79mm. Any problems I suggest using Hyperscales Scalecalc gizmo. Plan via the excellent PSL Hurricane book (a must for all large scale Hurricanes) and pics from Newark Air Museum. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Space Ranger Posted January 18, 2014 Share Posted January 18, 2014 In the US we call them "battery carts" or "start carts." A "trolley accumulator" is one who collects streetcars! 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bzn20 Posted January 18, 2014 Share Posted January 18, 2014 We used the Trolley Acc (how we called it) for VC10 post major Air test see outs. I Never saw it for any other flights. I never did find out why that was. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NAVY870 Posted January 20, 2014 Share Posted January 20, 2014 We had one donated to us way back in my RAN historic flight days as somebody thought it would be jolly useful for starting the Tracker on flyaways to airshows. So we manhandled the great heavy flipping lump into the back of the C-47 dragged it off to Orange airshow, manhandled the great heavy flipping lump out of the aircraft and gave praise to the almighty as it magnificently did not start the Tracker nor even so much as illuminate a single wee light bulb. Whatever was wrong with it must have been terminal (pun intended) as last I saw it it had become a museum display. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
