Julien Posted January 7, 2015 Author Share Posted January 7, 2015 T-2696. Even though this airframe is now in the RAF Museum it spent nearly all of its service life with the Fleet Air Arm. Pictures are mine. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Julien Posted January 23, 2016 Author Share Posted January 23, 2016 G-ANRX. This was built as N6550 at Hatfield in 1939, was used for training during the War. In 1956 it was converted for crop-dusting, as a single-seater flown from the rear cockpit. The hopper was placed in the front cockpit position, at the centre-of-gravity, to maintain aircraft balance whatever the hopper load level. Dispersion used a broad metal venture spreader, mounted below the fuselage and stiffened by a pair of dividers in the duct. Released under pilot control, the powder and granular chemicals were drawn by gravity and suction down into the spreader, where they were entrained by the airflow through the device, and spread laterally behind the aircraft. Last used in 1961, the aircraft was acquired by the Museum in 1976 and restored in 1991, with the engine returned to ground running condition.Info from the de Havilland Heritage Centre Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
