Hi everyone - we are making steady progress with the Whitley Project. Yesterday I placed an order for all the channel section we will need to re-fabricate the missing ribs for the trailing edges of both wings as well as a LOT of sheet metal of various gauges so we are all VERY excitted about this!
We are geting to the stage now where we really could do with some heavier engineering equipment - we have a medium sized lathe, scroll and pillar drills etc but need things like sheet metal brakes, an English wheel, a nice large industrial lathe for heavier applications - does anyone have or know of any of this stuff sitting outside in a yard?!! We can pay of course, but if companies are prepared to donate then we can put the money saved into the project. Doesn't matter where in the country, UK, Canada or US let me know and I'll see what we can do...
Laurence Scott Electromotors (Norwich) today kindly agreed to donate a ton of metal shelving for us in our workshop, we can get them 1st class publicity of course!
Thanks everyone for any leads...
