Latest acquisition at Sywell is a WORKING Link Trainer – yay!
More details to follow…
Meantimes, these panels have recently turned up with a throttle box, not sure what they are from, clearly a 4 engined piston – Shack? Brit? Hastings? over to you!
If anyone has a good home for the ‘box let me know….
Hope y’all well

Bournmouth had a Viscount simulator which I spent hours in with my son, its been a couple of years now but could they be from that or something similar ? I don’t know where it went when they closed and moved?

Another vote for Viscount for the throttle box.
There was one for sale at Brooklands Aerojumble about two years ago. I think the asking price was £300 and I believe it changed hands on the day.

That throttle box looks suspiciously Viscount-like. As for the panels, I don’t have a clue but somehow they don’t look like they are from a cockpit, could they be from some kind of simulator?
Edit: I’ve had another look and the panels could be Viscount as well, or at least something that should resemble one. The row of fasteners does follow the curvature of the cockpit coaming but there’s no way that the bit of panel above that will fit inside.
Brooklands has a Viscount front end off XT575, perhaps they’d be interested. I don’t know what they have for that cockpit already.
