Hi my name is Graham, I was given your name by another HMVF member who told me you may be able to help. I am trying to help a work colleague with some research, he does not have access to the internet.
He is an enthusiastic collector of Stationary Engines, and his latest purchase would seem to have a WD history, I would be grateful if any HMVF members can pass on any knowledge or info they may have, details of the engine are:
Lister Petter 'A' type 1.5 - 3 hp
Air cooled petrol engine.
Engine No is 308695
WD Brass Plate reads:
A.M. Ref No 4F/1373
Con A 565785/43/C12C
1944
and is marked with the "crows foot"
There is a compressor fitted to the engine. Would like to know what role the engine may have been used for, and by which service. Thanks in anticipation for any help.
I have since learnt that the engine was used by the Air Ministry.
