  1. The mk19 avro ansons data plate in the raf museum at cosford is described as “wooden wings”only early ansons had wood wings. I pointed it out in 2000 to the lady responsible for the error. It still says wooden wings

  2. Stabillant 22 is what you need for your slip ring lubricant. About 40 quid for a tiny bottle. Every time you open an electrical connector put a dab of this on all the pins. It’s a contact enhancer. Last for years. 

  3. Thanks for the pointers. I will try and touch base with him.

    Meanwhile I made a prototype Pipe bender i used a 68 mm hole saw to copy the internal radius of the bend and scewd the blank to a piece of plywood.

    I used 10mm bolt for the pivot point of the handle. I got some skate board bearing races of amazon for  the former. I got mixed results the test bend was perfect the full sized pipe ended up a little flat.
