Looking for advice: ex Jaguar GR1(a) pilots/maint.

for anyone who wants to fondly remember, I have already done a Flightsim model

920M - NAVWASS-Computer restored ;-)

Wow - pretty cool! What is the status of the project meanwhile and can the model be obtained separately, e.g. as Step-File for loading into a CAD system? Just want to add that I restored one of the 920M computers from the Jaguars last year. A video featuring the machine, its other applications and showing some software running can be found on YouTube:

You Tube

By the way: A version of the original flight program also survived and is located at "The National Museum of Computing" at Bletchley ;-)

If anyone out there comes accross schematics of the 920M computer (or its successor, the 920ME), please get in touch - that would be highly appreciated! Many thank and best wishes...

I might just impress you, googled the 920 and got

https://rochesteravionicarchives.co....-920m-computer

in the description it gave a dead link

http://www.computerconservationsocie...uals/index.htm

so searched

www.computerconservationsociety.org

and from there to

https://www.computerconservationsoci...ware-index.htm

that then linked me to

https://www.computerconservationsoci...tt903/base.htm

which then linked me to

https://andrewjherbert.github.io/Ell...hive-web-site/

and from there you might get what you want?

https://andrewjherbert.github.io/Ell...documentation/

or

https://github.com/andrewjherbert/El...-documentation

Ahhh... I sometimes amaze myself and hope that is what you need

Note the link above the last 2 links has details on how to run it through a simulator.

Thanks for that documentation - of course I know these sites and I am working with Andrew Herb and Terry Froggatt who is a real software expert on the 900 series. In fact they have two non-working 920M computers (one donated by me and one from the RAA) and we are trying to figure out more on the internals to fix and fire up an additional machine in the UK. The goal would be to have on top of mine in Germany another one running at The National Museum of Computing (TNMoC) in Bletchley Park!
So we are not looking for software documentation or the schematics of the cabinet size machines (they use discrete transistors), but for schematics for the internals of 920M using the SMD mounted DTL logic chips. Nevertheless - thanks for all your efforts and maybe something is showing up in the future...

Have you asked on Flypast. Or the Jag forums on Facebook?

[baigar]

Schematics for 920M and 920ME computers...

I had asked on the XX764 restoration group, but maybe I will also ask in what looks like the biggest and most active Jaguar
group on facebook, www.facebook.com/groups/SEPECATJaguar/ . The RAA probably has got some data, but they are not
allowed to share anything :-(

[NutLoose]

I will ask on a couple of closed Jag forums for you, btw seen this?

one thought, these guys do military radios, it might be worth an ask as they may have come across one during their collecting, as they have loads of radio manuals on line.

Ahh, very nice - one of the Jaguar's air data computers; I had thought, it used the same computer
part. no. 81-01-26 (6TP/6205277) as Nimrod did, but obviously it is different, 81-01-08.
Have a little video on the Nimrod's air data computer in my YouTube channel:

Hi baigar
I've got a 920M in my Jaguar cockpit but not much of the supporting equipment. Very little hope of ever getting it operational but could donate specific parts if it helps you out.
Cheers Paul
