Hi all,
I have a good idea about the layout of the Manchester cockpit interior thanks to this forum. One piece of information still eludes me.
Does anyone have a pic or sketch of the electrical- and fight engineers panels?
Thanks in advance.

I have a hurried copy of the Manchester AP from Kew. Alas some pages are blurred, but it does not contain RH cockpit photos. LH, and instrument panel yes. Maybe it didn’t have an engineers panel? It was only a twin, after all. I’m dreaming of a 1/32 conversion too, even though my loft has a 1/48 effort abandoned over twenty years now.

In the past for diagrams or illustrations of WWII cockpit panels / layouts, I have always contacted the research department at RAF Hendon museum. You can do this via their site on the Internet. They have always posted back to me (via postal mail or email) exactly what I have requested. There normally is a small charge for their photocopying services if they send back diagrams by postal mail but this is very reasonable. Good luck.
