Gareth,

are you referring to the tail section that I mentioned in another post? The one at Shoreham came from a French hedge row. I tought it was the vertical tail section but then I didn't look all that closely as I was in a bit of a rush!!!

If it is anything like the elevators, which I believe it is, then apart from the fairings the horizontal stabilizers are not handed. Therefore a single one would do for a copy!!! It would have to be matched for type though...the later Typhoons shared the horizontal stabilizers with the Tempest which were slightly bigger units....there are some elevators for the Typhoon around but these are the smaller type.

If the tail you are referring to isn't the one at Shoreham...which one is it?

Dave
