Admiral Puff Posted February 12, 2017 Share Posted February 12, 2017 General arrangement drawings of the York C.1 (the common or garden variety Merlin engined version) by Alf Granger were published in Wingspan 33, and I have a copy of them. I'm pretty sure that Wingspan also published his drawings of the York II (the Hercules engined variant) and I thought that I had a copy, but it's nowhere to be found. Can anyone (a) confirm that such drawings exist and (b) provide me with a copy, please? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CarLos Posted February 12, 2017 Share Posted February 12, 2017 (edited) Steve was faster... Anyway, you may look for contents of some magazines in Aeroflight.co.uk. Here is the list for Planes & Wingspan: http://www.aeroflight.co.uk/mags/contents/planes-contents-listing.htm Would it be possible to scan the C.I drawings from #33? I miss that one.

(And I'm sure now that I've had that volume in the past - on checking CarLos' list, there are things in that edition of which I already have copies scanned and saved ...)

stever219 Posted February 12, 2017 Share Posted February 12, 2017 I'd treat those drawings with a degree of caution: I was lucky enough to get up close n personal with TS798/"MW100" at Cosford on the 7th and the fuselage side skins are straight fore and aft (no curvature, rather than parallel to the aircraft centerline). Where the wing structure passes through the fuselage the radii between the top and sides of the fuselage reduce, effectively increasing the width (or height) of the flat areas at these points and producing a taper on the relevant panels.

Thanks for that. I got some shots of that very aircraft last time I was at Cosford - I'll have to drag them out! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
