Did they use it for heating purposes or what ? Yes - there was a heat-exchange unit in the leading edge on the early models and this supplied cabin heat, etc. You wouldn't want the No2 engine letting you down on a long patrol over the North Atlantic in the middle of winter...

Hans Posted March 3, 2022 Share Posted March 3, 2022 Truly impressive work Tom! Now what do you think of the Japanese Kawanishi "Emily" flying as a follow-on? Troy Molitor and tomprobert 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think that would need to be a total scratch-build to be honest. scvrobeson 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pretty sure that wouldn't be much more challenging than some of the, let's say, more rudimentary vacs that you've taken on. And wasn't the Shack a scratchbuild?

I am wondering whether a Sunderland could provide some parts… you’ve got me thinking now! scvrobeson 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
