Chipmunk Aircraft Repair & Reconditioning Instructions.
( RAF AP 4308 Volume 6 )
Excellent Scanned copy on CD. Scanned as high resolution TIF images. Just over 100 pages packed with invaluable data including many Diagrams & Tables. Manual printed in 1952 with amendments to 1962. Divided into 2 parts. Part 1 Covers Minor Repairs and Part 2 Major Repairs. Part 1 is complete however part two only contains Major repairs for the Fuselage, Mainpane and Tailplane as listed in the contents below. (Possibly these were the only approved Major repairs at the time of issue?)
Note that the sample pages below are a much lower resolution than those on the CD. Also included on the CD is an Adobe Acrobat version of the manual for easy browsing (Adobe Reader 7.0 supplied on the CD). Comes on a high quality CD in a nicely printed Jewel case. See my other auctions for more vintage aircraft and engine manuals.
