Tayha Posted March 13, 2013 Share Posted March 13, 2013 Hi All This may be in wrong post but in my searching for anything to do with Parnall of Yate i cam across this web site with a load of old mags pics etc you can download. It is an Italian website so expect Italian biased as expected, but an awfull lot of info about Schneider competions on here as well as general aviation.

Giorgio N Posted March 13, 2013 Share Posted March 13, 2013 Beautiful site, I did not know it, thanks for sharing. There's even a part dedicated to various flight manuals and parts catalogues for many old types. Brilliant stuff ! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tayha Posted March 14, 2013 Author Share Posted March 14, 2013 Hi I did my engineering apprentaship at Parnall's (not on aircraft, i am not quite that old yet!!) and whilst there i was helping the training officer gather any info about the company for Kenneth Wixey who wrote the Putnams Parnall book. We uncovered some 4 cylinders of drawings in an old cellar store and i catalouged them. Where they are now i do not know, but i did manage to print off some of the most interesting GA's of various types and projects. The main drawind office was hit during the war and most drawings destroyed. Since then i have carried on collecting any info, photo's whatever I can, only about the aircraft Parnall's designed and built. Any suggestions for any other sites always welcome.
