Dave,

Unfortunately I don't have the name anymore of the person I met last year when I visited the RAFM. I made an appointment beforehand through e-mail to the attention of the Keeper of Records, and when I got there I was taken to the archive department.

As far as I know they have all known drawings on microfilm and at my request produced a thick book which contained all sorted drawings by type. All I had to do was to select the type of aircraft, the numbers of the drawings and was taken to a microfilmmachine. There I could view the drawings and make copies at the same time if I wished (and you bet I wished). There were also numbers of drawings relating to Westland Lysander and Lancaster to name but a few as well as some obscure prototypes.

Hope this helps

Cees
