Rigger's Notes for British WW1 Aircraft

Thanks to John Brotherston who has permitted me to digitise a WW1 rigging notebook that has been in his possession for many years, I have completed an electronic version of the notebook as well as publishing it in paperback and Ebook format with Amazon/KDP. You may download the .pdf file for free via the Rigger's Notes page on this website or purchase a copy from the Amazon on-line book store.

Air Mechanic 2nd Class (Rigger) G Slater was posted to the No 12 Reserve Aeroplane Squadron based at Thetford Aerodome in November 1915. Thetford (aka Snrehill, Norfolk) was used for basic flight training for pilots and observers, including night flying. Slater's role as a rigger included the training of junior riggers and he compiled a comprehensive notebook detailing the rigging for nine (9) specific types of British aircraft, The Maurice Farman Longhorn and Shorthorn, the Royal Air Force Factory FE2, the Royal Air Force Factory BE2c, the De Havilland DH1 and DH2, the Avro 504, the Bristol Scout Type C and the Vickers FB5 'Gunbus'.
