British WW1 official blueprints

[43rdRecceReg]

There's one in the 'Memorabilia' section of The Tank Museum's "Tanks-100 years of Armoured Warfare". It's item 2 of the WW1 Memorabilia Bag. Mk IV Blueprint.
'E.O.C. Drc No 22097' These are the original working blueprints!.
It's too massive (Imperial size, I think) for me to scan- although I could just about be constituted in four A4 sized scans. I might have a go later.

Here's just one section...
The book may still be available from Amazon or the Tank Museum, but I'll scan more bits I you like, and you can stitch them together.

...and another. For convenience, they have to be posted in Pictorial rather than landscape mode:

Bovingdon is your best bet - don't ask me how much they charge for prints tho.

Anyone suggesting one of Bradford's 'tank colouring books' will be derisively laughed at...

BovingDon is a village in Hertfordshire,
Adjacent to it was a USAAF/USAF Bomber base,
John Glens Mercury Space Capule was flown there for onward transport to the Science museum The film "The War Lover" starring Steve Mcqueen was made there as was "633 Squadron",
My father worked there as an Armourer in the latter part of WW2 after being medically discharged from the Army,
It is now the site of a Category 2 Prison but search as I might I cannot find a Tank Museum
BUT BovingTon in Dorset has a fine Tank Museum in the grounds of the Headquarters of the Royal Armoured Corps.

In my years of working in London Gov (thank Christ that's over ) I lived in the Leavesden area of Herts., when it was still an Airfield (now the home of Harry Potter studios). Indeed, I flew Cherokees and a Cessna 150 Aerobat there. Then, Bovingdon was still an airfield, but landing there could have been painful because of the concrete blocks straddling the runway- as a major disincentive to visitors

If you haven't already, be sure check our the Landships forum. You'll find a number of WW1 armor enthusiasts who might be able to help out. If not for plans, its a a good reference site.

True, but I already have a spreadsheet that translates full size imperial to 1/16 metric
