Dear Sirs
Looking through my late fathers airforce records I find an original piece of a Boulton Paul Defiant. On the reverse it has the markings. GX-321. 6 Squadron 1940. The part has three holes in it (12mm?). The piece looks to have been cut out of an aircraft, still with two of the original colours intact. Any information ??. Regards John Cundell.

Father worked at BP during the war, writing the instruction manuals for gun turrets amongst other design duties. Grew up with Pendeford over the back fence so to speak, and spent all the time I was allowed as a child at the aero club, where Dad was a founder member. Getting set to make a 1/8th scale of the Balliol. Does anyone have access to original drawings? I have used basic drawings to measure and recreate the model on CAD, but short on detail. I live in Australia so access to Cosford or the BP museum isn’t on sadly.

It was a nostalgic pleasure to walk amongst these old aricraft and see the skills of the craftsmen still being used today to reconstruct the airframes of yesteryear. a very pleasant and interesting experience. Keep up the worthwhile good work. Well worth a future visit.

Wow, I’m amazed! Is there an online photograph collection showing a step by step process of the building of the two replicas, i.e. the P.6 and the Defiant?

Would you confirm the road number which you say is the A445 as I believe that this is in fact the A449 from Wolverhampton to stafford. Wobaston road is off the A449. Thankyou.
