: Hi all,
:
: Following our discussions concering the Whirlwind drawings
: , I was wondering if there is a central indexsystem in Bri
: tain where one could find out where all surviving construc
: tion drawings of British aircraft are kept.
:
: For instance, it is known that all construction drawings f
: or the Halifax are kept at the IWM, the RAFM has thousands
: of Spitfire drawings. Copyzone have scanned drawings for
: Lancaster, Spitfire, Hurricane, Liberator and Fw-190 on CD
: -rom.But do the various sections of BAe, which used to be
: former companies have their own archives?
:
: What happened to the drawings of aircraft made by Bristols
: , Hawkers, Armstrong Whitworth etc.

I know BAe hold the drawings for the Mosquito in their archives.
