Australian Beaufighter 21 Descriptive Manual

I have had to "squash it" a bit to a respectable size. Should still be good though.

Cheers

Peter

Yes, there is a whole fleet of manuals for the Beaufort.

RAAF publication number 185 - Pilots notes for Australian Beaufort aeroplane
RAAF publication number 204 - Beaufort all marks weight sheet summary
RAAF publication number 280 - Beaufort Alighting Gear Servicing Instructions
RAAF publication number 294 - Beaufort Descriptive Manual
RAAF publication number 299 - Beaufort Electrical Service Manual
RAAF publication number 483 - Australian Beaufort Repair Manual

I have 280 and 299 if there is any interest in posting those.

For Beaufighter there is: -

RAAF publication number 249 - Beaufighter I - Special Repair Schemes Production and Distribution
RAAF publication number 259 - Beaufighter weight sheet summary
RAAF publication number 615 - Aust. Beaufighter MK.21 Descrip. Manual
RAAF publication number 671 - "Australian Beaufighter Repair Manual"
RAAF publication number 693 - Pilots notes - Beaufighter Mark 21

Cheers

Peter

Hi Peter,
Wow.. didn't know there were that many manuals on one type of a/c...
I for one, would love to see the 280 alighting gear servicing instructions.
Cheers
Jerry


P.S.
How do you squash pdf's ?

Okay Jerry, I'll post the Beaufort Manual soon.

I use Adobe Acrobat 9.0 Pro. It has a function to reduce the size of the file with one click. It goes through the document and compresses each page, but does degrade the quality.

Cheers

Peter
