Re: Firefly Mk6 data request
Went to London today and managed to buy Warpaint No.28 'Fairey Firefly Mks 1 to U9.' As usual well illustrated bur with minor text errors - proof reader not so good on this one.
Also managed to visit the Mall Gallery where the Maritime Artists were having their annual show - really good stuff with ships from all periods well represented as well as some harbour scenes - no bathing belles sighted however!!! The exhibition is on for the next few days.

Re: Firefly Mk6 data request
Hi Hobby,
Email the Fleet Air Arm Museum at Yeovilton. They will be able to give you that data. They are busy so expect to wait a while for an answer.
The National Archives in London. should have a copy of the Firefly 6 manual. They certainly have the Firefly 1 manual because I copied large chunks of it.
Best wishes

Re: Firefly Mk6 data request
Thanks Steve.
I do wish that the Fleet Air Arm Museum had more staff to help with research. I went to London last week and was able to get a copy of the 'Warpaint' dealing with the Firefly - the three view drawing therein has answered a lot of my queries.
