Hi my brother james and i admire your restoration work immensely and have a request, we co own a classic fairey huntsman power boat of notable history that has instrumentation that we beleive was fitted from new from a fairey ganet, the item in question is the gyro compass, i am having problems getting the system running, have had the system working for the last 20 years but sadly not now! not sure if it is the head unit, 28vac inverter or the gyroscopic unit, could you help us with this? i only ask as the vessel comes from the same stable as the wonderful aircraft that you diligently restore, look forward to any response that you may have, many thanks- proud owners of ’707′-fordsport- round britain runner of 1969 piloted by sir peter twiss.

The APSS is a voluntary organisation situated at East Fortune Airfield in South East Scotland. We are a member of BAPC. At a meeting yesterday with the National Museum Scotland with whom we work closely in the maintanance of their aircraft collection, your Society was mentioned. I will try and contact you today by telephone and discuss our enquiry.
Kind regards
