Simon Cornes Posted April 16, 2019 Share Posted April 16, 2019 Does anyone have a set of instructions for the FisherT.20 they could scan and e-mail to me? Thank you Simon Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Simon Cornes Posted April 21, 2019 Author Share Posted April 21, 2019 Almost succeeded but not quite! Can anyone help? Also, this is a T.20 so only two guns. Does anyone know if it retained the twin bulges on the wing access panels? I haven't found a photo yet! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
71chally Posted April 21, 2019 Share Posted April 21, 2019 Purely from memory of the old RNHF T.20, it featured the two bulges on each upper wing half. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Simon Cornes Posted April 21, 2019 Author Share Posted April 21, 2019 Thanks Julien. I've had a look and at my copy of From the Cockpit No 12 and there is a photo on the back cover of the book which shows the T.20 prototype, VX818, and I can now se two bulges in each wing but only a gun port in front of the outside bay. You have ti be very careful with these photos though because the T.20 was supposed to have no hook and a fixed tailwheel yet WG655 has tailwheel doors and the tailwheel retracts? So explain that? !! Thank you anyway. I am also weighing up the colour of the main gear bay - silver? I think I'll go for that but then again, when it comes to flaps and the interior of the wing fold - as a restored example - Duxford's seems to a chromate shade. I would have expected everything to be airframe silver? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Julien Posted April 21, 2019 Share Posted April 21, 2019 The shade of yellow is not zinc chromate but apparently a shade Hawkers used? Im sure there aer people on here who know more about it than I do. Julien Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Julien Correct, note as green as zinc chromate is thought of, more a kinda mustardy colour when aged. apparently a brighter yellow when new. @NAVY870 has one to play with.

Jonners Our aircraft has had the main gear legs changed out at some stage, possibly when it was with the CSIRO. The legs should be sky, whats on ours looks like some type of primer. More on colour info of page 4 of linked thread. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
