My reference books have had photos of this tyre company’s name on a few British aeroplanes. Gumby decided to use there tyres on Ogre therefore the Palmer Cord Aero Tyre trademark was imprinted.

Gumby believes that I was slightly remiss yesterday when posting Vickers construction photos. At my little buddy’s request I am posting this photo, today. The fuselage mounted Vickers still reqires the interrupter “gear” linkage and an access port in the cockpit wall that enabled the pilot to cock the gun and provide the gun access to the ammunition belt.

Does not look like much but progress non the less. Poly span applied to the remainder of the fuse. Gumby cannot keep is mind on task. All he can think of is the "Stupid Bowel"!

Took about an hour of measuring and shimming to get the center wing section squared away. It's now 1330 and nothing has changed outside. Looks like a forest of flocked Christmas trees.
