Hi

 

Wonderful find look forward to seeing it's restoration and or preservation.

 

Do you have the manual? Also there a whole series of shop bulletins which cover all the running changes and modifications, good reading and interesting information. Will try and find the source for reprints.

 

Also some good information in Bill Gregg's books on CMPs also if I remember correctly in some of Bart Vanderveen's writtings.

 

What does the interior look like, got to spend some time looking at the one in Bill Gregg's collection back in 1984, can post the link to those photos if you are interested.

 

Cheers Phil

Have you got any photos of inside the engine bay of the Otter at all? As the RAF Regt Heritage centre are trying to get their Otter back running again and they are having some issues on where all the Ancillary parts of the engine are supposed to fit (it had parts removed years ago and the new mechanics aren't sure were they all go). Any help would be greatly appreciated as they say its like doing a jigsaw puzzle without knowing what its supposed to look like.

You could always ask for a copy of the manual at the RAF Museum!

 

Thanks didn't think of that. I will pass that info on and see if they can get one (they are hopefully getting the Humber armoured car back from there).
