Cockpit Wanted for £1500

Hi Merkle

for your storage and size requirements, if you are after a military cockpit in the uk there are the following types that could fit the bill:

Hunter
Vampire
Venom
Sea Hawk
Jet Provost
Meteor
Scimitar
Swift
Chipmunk
Jaguar
Harrier
Gnat

They range from the rare and expensive to the more numerous and lower cost. Keep talking to other cockpit owners and museums that like trading their projects. The alternative would be to build a cockpit up from the instrument panels, and collecting the other interior fittings and controls to make a cockpit rig.

Hi Dave,
thanks for the info, i suppose after looking at your list then its got to be anything (Fighter) or Fighter bomber,call it personal preferance, but if i am not over enthusiastic on it , i probably would never get around to restoring it,
I suppose you must have the extreme enthusiasm to start a project, so for a start its got to be something i am mad on, so the list narrows down to, Hunter,Vampire,venom,meteor,seahawk, Single seater (in my dreams)
i suppose the most common from that lot being the GA.11, I would have to put it back into early 1960s colours , (i am well jelous of Naylan moores one )
the colours on his GA11are gorgeous, 😀

Sold…. it moved to Bruntinthorpe i believe.

Is the correct answer.

HMS Vulture was selling his Sea Vixen, and thats really only a single seater!!, you could send him a PM.

Realistically, there’s not much chance of a single seater other than a Hunter, although there is always the possibility of a Harrier getting the chop,(might be worth talking to Jamie Everett, who often adve.rtises on Barnstormers)

canberra

there is a PR7 Canberra on cockpitclub website going for £950 if that helps? the extra £550 would go well toward restoring it 🙂 i wanted it but i dont have the luxury of money heh

i love the old canberra, but the logistics of having one at the mo, is near impossible,thats why i am looking for a single seater at mo, 🙂
