Sabrejet Posted July 2, 2012 Author Share #37 Posted July 2, 2012 The following are shots taken in some of the adjacent hangars where the amazing restoration work takes place. All of these partially restored airframes will take to the air again, eventually! Bristol Blenheim Mk 1. The only one of this type and a major long-term project.

Sabrejet Posted July 2, 2012 Author Share #48 Posted July 2, 2012 I'm not exactly sure what this vehicle was used for...I believe it's based on a Model "T" Ford chassis? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sabrejet Posted July 2, 2012 Author Share #49 Posted July 2, 2012 Re the vehicle above, I asked Ken what he thought it was for. His reply makes perfect sense...thanks Ken! :thumbsup: I would think that the idea is to attach to the propeller or propeller boss and turn the engine over, as batteries were not so good in those days, once the engine starts then the magneto takes over and keep the firing system working.
