This is very interesting, thanks for showing them. When Smith got to redesigning the Spitfire, he certainly simplified a lot of the structures didn't he.
He He! I've got that image too, in the Morgan/Shacklady book, page 497. But as you say, it's a 'service' manual drawing so what was between the two fuselage plates in the bulkhead, isn't of interest to the fitter putting the wings on.
Now if you flip the page over to 499, there's a very nicely...
Interestingly, the wing for it was discovered on a farm roughly 30km south of my place in Alberta. Lots of work to be done to it though, it includes the wingfold half at each end and from spar to spar. Probably only good for reverse engineering.
I can envision an arrangement like the ones in the second row down which is in this Marconi advert. I've been working on a theoretical model of the idea.
There is an article in a recent Air-Britain Aviation World about this project. Towards the end of the war, VL proposed to reverse engineer a Mosquito but use DB-605 engines. Their plan was to buy two flyable Mosquito's captured by the Germans using one to reverse engineer, and the other for...
The Griffon powered 'DH.98 Mosquito', was the DH.102. It was bigger than the DH.98 and according to what's written, was a "scaled down" DH.101. There wouldn't have been very much in common though, between the DH.98 and DH.101/102.
I've been trying to make a model of both of these using a copy of...
Also, if anyone is keeping tabs on your electricity utility bill, if you're finding you can't pay the bill now, just wait until governments wake up to the fact gasoline/petrol taxes aren't rolling in like they were ----
Looking at that bomb load comparison chart, I note that the Vulcan is only showing 21 bombs (3x7). There's this UTube video that shows a short bit at the end they're loading clips with 10 bombs, so 30 max.

There's an exercise going on that involves 17 nations down under. A report from its activities says that two RAAF F-35's ""shot down"" six RSAF F-15's in one exercise operation ----- and shot them down before the F-15's even knew they were there.
There's a page with minimal info on the C-5C in the Squadron/Signal C-5 Galaxy in Action (No.201), page 28 with a couple of photos, and a diagram on page 33 showing the inboard side profile.
