The Australian War Memorial is restoring DAP Beaufort A9-557 at the Treloar Conservation Centre in Canberra. For more information see

You can contact the Assistant Director, National Collection by email to see if they can assist you:

The Aus built Beaforts were Pratt & Whitney engined, whether that bears on your problem I'm not able to say.

In view of the earlier remark, you may wish to bear in mind that the AWM is a fine instituion and museum indeed, but it is staffed by public servants. Public entry to the Memorial and use of its collections for research is free.

After my day job, I maintain a public-good website about the history and aircraft of one RAF Squadron in WWII and its RAF and RAAF personnel. I'm afraid I too work for the Government.
