One of my ‘slow-burn’ projects is to build up, to the extent feasible, an H2S MkIIB system. For those who don’t know, this was the ground-mapping radar fitted to Lancaster aircraft during WW2.
Of the various units in the system, one that I have so far failed to find so far is an example of the Power Unit Type 280.
I know it is a long-shot, but does anyone have one they would be prepared to sell to me?
Being realistic, the chance of finding a complete one in good condition is probably not high, but I would be interested in anything in any condition which could be used as the basis of a rebuild, or to provide parts. A rusty old chassis could be measured up to enable a replica to be made.
I’ve attached a couple of diagrams taken from the manual, so you know what to look for!
Many thanks in anticipation,
Andy
