Does anyone know if there is a list anywhere showing which Aeroclub part nos. are which now that the web site is closed?

I have loads of the ejector seats but I haven't a clue which one is which any more, I used to just look them up on the site of course, but can't now.

I wrote a PM to John Adams when on the Britmodeller forum a couple of weeks ago asking the same thing Kit, I haven't had a reply from him.

Here's a website which carries quite a bit of his stuff though:

And Rare-Plane Detective seems to have a lot of his stuff too:

Thanks for that Robert, I should have realised Roll Models would have that listing, I know the guy who runs it!  :banghead:

But I was carrying the answer around in my hand at Telford now I remember!

OGL, that Aeroclub list I gave you for our mutual contact, is there a chance you could copy it before you give it to him please?

Chris,

The BUSINESS!!!!!

Thanks so much, that's really useful, specially as I learned this morning that OGL had already posted the Aeroclub catalogue to my buddy.

Perhaps I should add my input to your master list as I dig through the VAST amount of Aeroclub stuff that I have, some with their titles on amazingly.

You could always ask Ian to copy the list and send it back in your direction Kit :)
I always hope for the best.

Worth a try, but I may have to talk Ian through running his scanner over the phone.  :blink:

Isn't this place just great?  :thumbsup: :cheers:

Thank you Van, just the job. Now I know two of my 'mystery seats' (EJ 009) are Stencils, funny looking things they are too.

I've just found a couple of Aeroclub white metal seats in a kit box and I'm fairly sure they don't belong to it. Can anybody ID them for me, or point me to a list of code numbers, please?

The seats are code F2J023

They look like pretty early seats, very squared off, with relatively narrow headrests, and the back frame extends above the shoulders, giving the impression of two square 'handles'.

I don't recognise the code I'm afraid mate. All mine start EJ

Anyway in case it is EJ here's a list of some of them at least

Looking at the list Chris mentioned they look like they could be EJ023 seats, for a Grumman Panther, and that agrees with one of my lists too.

Think you've nailed it there Kit: they were in a Grumman Panther box and the 'F2' bit of the code could credibly be a badly written 'E'. Because I read it as 'F2J' I was assuming they were for some sort of Fury.

Yes, looking at the pics on that list, all the 'E's are written in the same way as what I took to be 'F2' on my bag, and the pic confirms them as EJ023 Panther ones.

Many thanks both of you!  :thumbsup:

All you need now is the Panther to go with the box and the bang seats.  ;D :lol:
