Bonding of Aerodyne rear window
The Bristol Aeroplane Company used 50% DumDum mixed with 50%of Bostic C
which worked very well. However, I am not certain if these products are still available now, but there are several modern means to fix the window into place
but they need to be flexible to cope with the expansion of the aluminium against the glass.
An extra piece of information which you will not find any where else is the part number of the wooden filet which holds the glass in position, it is N 705712A, there may be a drawing in the archives with sizes. This was supplied oversize and had ro be fitted first to the aperture and then to take the aluminium surround plus the roof lining which is trapped between the two.
I hope this is of help, so the best of luck.
