C'mon, lets see it :-jump :-love

Title: Re: Fairey Firefly
Post by: Paul Bradley on November 11, 2010, 03:11:50 PM: What a coincidence...! :)) This is the book I am working on and I am really looking forward to seeing Srecko's work on this!!

There will be three profiles of Dutch machines:

(http://i145.photobucket.com/albums/r214/Paul_Bradley/firefly/32-SMALL.jpg)

FR.1 - 11-20, 860Sqn, RNNAS, Soerabaya, 1949

(http://i145.photobucket.com/albums/r214/Paul_Bradley/firefly/33-SMALL.jpg)

T.1 - 11-12

(http://i145.photobucket.com/albums/r214/Paul_Bradley/firefly/34-SMALL.jpg)

FR.4 - 008/B, 7Sqn RNNAS, Biak, 1957

But as he hasn't started on them yet, I am open to other suggestions! My only stipulation is that, if possible, there isn't another profile published in another book - I would like to have different profiles where possible.

Post by: No.1 on November 11, 2010, 03:14:33 PM: Paul- no coincidence here, this topic is dedicated to your book but did not mention that as well I am not authorized to do that. And as well this is very first time to work on Firefly, all you see here will be for your book :))

Wonderful images :-ok What grey color is on the underside?

It appears to me that it is the same color as what is on the side of the fuselage, not certain on
that however.

Here are some more images...

Post by: No.1 on November 18, 2010, 07:49:53 AM: No problem, I have Sky Grey sample, chip published by RAF Museum. First profile... I did not think about, first profile is in general test, maybe I will use anything from my files, off course, focus will be on your files.

Mk. I early is almost complete, but there is stick under the plane, any idea about this?

Could it be the antenna from a sonobuoy reciever? I found this text:

"A sonobuoy receiver rod antenna projected downward from the bottom of the starboard stub plane. The sonobuoy receiver was located in the shelving aft of the Observer's seat, which swivelled to permit operation of the AN/APS-4 equipment (still positioned forward of the seat) or the sonobuoy receiver."

Title: Re: Fairey Firefly
Post by: Paul Bradley on January 26, 2011, 01:45:16 AM: If that photo is of an F.1, then it isn't a sonobuoy aerial, as the F.1 didn't use sonobuoys. I have searched through the AP but find no mention of it, but I think it may be the early position for the IFF aerial.
