Message-ID: With wing radiators, usually the outer surfaces were grills to protect the actual radiator tubes (from accidental damage on and or near the ground) , and were painted with 'silver ' (probably an Aluminum based) heat paint. Some had screens or other metal mesh between the outer grill and the tubes (which were, as on many cars, really flattened ovals) I'm sure at least some of the 'grills' were overpainted at one time or another, but the majority of photos show the radiators/grills as a markedly different color from the surrounding painted areas, so I usually go with some metallic color, but use your own judgment. BTW IMHO ignore the pictures of the DV radiator in the Datafile, that is the Australian DV, and was it used in Palestine, and looks like additional metal "honeycomb" was added (again as in car radiators) to effectively increase the surface area for cooling in that harsh climate.

Grasping the opportunity, I put the question to him: "I say, what colour WAS your cowl"? To which he replied in his blithe yet simpering manner: 'Ich hatte kein 'cowl'! It appears that the photos with cowl have been retouched in the interest of preventing the man from being exposed after his supposed death. That should write Finis to this discussion.

Message-ID: <39A18584.51EF799B@dial.pipex.com> Hi Folks, At the risk of stealing TC's thunder, my wife showed me a 'snippet' form one of her magazines today saying that the actor Hugh Grant has been chosen to play Biggles in a forthcoming film about the adventures of the 'famous WW1 flying ace'. Who knows, this may even produce some spin off models (And a host of jokes about, well, I'll not lower the tone that far!)
