Evening all,

Would anybody have a copy (or even better: a scanned example) of AirMin publication A.P.4309A-Sedbergh TX Mk. 1 light glider, Vol. 5? I have most volumes of this publication, but am missing Volume 4 (Planned servicing schedules) and Volume 5, Parts 2,3 &4 (Daily, intermediate, pre-flight, after flight, minor and major servicing schedules). And it's just these sections that would be very beneficial to get an aircraft maintenance programme approved...

Eric,

Have you looked on 'Scale Soaring UK' website library.

Yes I have Dave, but they only have Volumes 1, 2 and 6, which is what I already have. Same with the VGC and the usual suspects... But thank you for pointing me in the direction of SSUK's excellent site.

Thank you for that Tony. Didn't know about that one, despite an intensive Google-search... The link has yielded the Daily Servicing Schedule as a new document. It confirms there's a schedule for Minor and Major Servicing, and that is what I am still looking for, either as seperate Service Schedules, or as part 4/5 of the mentioned AP...

If it does not turn up there are ways around it, but finding them would be the most easy and elegant way...

We did have the RAF flight manual for our Sedbergh in the files at Oxford. I'll get one of the guys to check whether it's still there.

But it was stamped "Restricted" (why?????????) so we might not be able to give it to you Dutch types!!!!!

I assume that you tried the VGC's T21 CD?

Depending on where you are you might find a trip to Kew with a camera beneficial.

From my own experience, APs often are listed as "amendment" but are the full AP will all amendments up to that point.

Thank you, but Kew is about a seven hour ride (and a ferry trip) away, so that is not very practical...

Don't worry David, we have clearance.

PS: I love the way the T38 logbook is labelled as "Glider and winged target servicing log". Not much to shoot at there.
