  1. Dekno Models is to release a 1/48th Percival E.2H Mew Gull 3D printed kit. Source: https://www.facebook.com/DEKNOmodels/posts/4918014584878840 V.P.
  2. I'm working on an R/C model of the Percival Mew Gull, which has the "as manufactured" canopy and rear deck. As famous as this aircraft was in England, it's all but unknown to us in the USA, even those of us very interested in the prewar National Air Races held in Cleveland, Ohio. Finding reference material has been a surprising challenge. The current restoration of G-AEXF is of Henshaw's "cut down" canopy and rear deck. I have Harry Robinson's drawings for G-AEXF and it's original scheme/registration, ZS-AHM, which includes color notes. My model will be all-white, and considering how few Mew Gulls were made, I've been surprised at my inability to identify colors. I believe the following were all-white airframes: ZS-AHM "The Golden City" gold letters G-AEXF British Racing Green letters G-AEKL G-ACND (not included: Capt. Percival's own G-AFAA, as this was essentially a different aircraft) G-AEXF did exist in unmodified form, so this is a possibility, as is the original incarnation, ZS-AHM. Can anybody fill in the blanks for the other registration letter colors? I've done exhaustive internet searches and I'm very surprised at how few photos of Mew Gulls turn up (not including the Shuttleworth restoration). I've found no reference books -- just two magazine articles (Air Classics, Oct. 1977 which included Robinson's drawings of G-AFAA and Skyways, Jan. 2004 which included Robinson's drawings of G-AEXF, modified, and ZA-AHM). Did Robinson document any of the other Mew Gulls? His excellent drawings are very difficult to come by. Thanks in advance!
  3. Hi All, Just thought I'd post a few pictures from last night's thoroughly excellent night shoot at Shuttleworth. Well organised, friendly and helpful - I can't recommend this event highly enough and I'll certainly be going when they run it again. As well as having a selection parked outside and four aircraft run up, there was free access to the museum hangars and kit like the Blackburn monoplane, Avro Tutor and several others were posed for us all to photograph. Want different lighting or a change of angle? Just ask the lovely people there and they moved things around! I've got a fair few files to process yet but here are a few - the Blackburn monoplane, a slightly out of time mix of Mew Gull and MG TA, and my absolute highlight of the night - the DH Comet being run up. I hope you enjoy the shots. Cheers all, Roger
