Any Halifax Photos (British Canuk)

Hi
This is one of those areas where YAMs halifax may have lead me astray. Have built what is shown in photo for addition later. The groundwork for many of the areas I am working on now are based on stuff 3 years ago. NA337 pics were a bit thin on the ground then. Will have to stay with the version I have modelled as its a bit late to grind out an opening for the levers. What do you recon to the YAM fuel cocks. If they are not right where did they get the idea to fit them? Currently working on the starboard side wall.

Cheers
Phil

Phil,

The fuel levers on YAM’s aircraft are acceptable if not authentic, they look very original/ The guard of course doesn’t look like the real thing but that is chearly shown on the sketch you posted above, so should be no problem.

Phil,

You haven’t installed the fuel levers above the pilot’s postion and the very prominent guard around them. Will you be doing this anyway?

All I could find….

Missing equipment

Hi
Its the bits of equipment that would go in the two empty racks. Have made the other items shown. Also the fuselage wall opposite the FE’s station, all the rest is very much covered thanks to you chaps. The problem with the exellent reference that is now available is that nearly all preceeding work was based on the YAM example or guesswork. I am having to resist the temptation to go back and alter or add parts that now I have a clear view of. Its sad but these things keep me awake at night. Must remind myself that nobody will be able to see any of it anyway once the two fuselage halves are together.

Thanks
Phil

I might have more of that location but the lighting was kinda funkky…I can check tonight once I get home

What do you need Phil?

The area behind frame nr 7 (pilot’s bulkead) I do have constructional drawings for but they are format A0 ( don’t fit my scanner). The photograph you highlighted however shows the details really well.

Cheers

?????????

Take that as a no you have not then. Shame the RAF Museum??? Any one else got any. Cees any AP scans?? please. Regarding the Wellington from the scotish Isles ask rocketeer may know how to contact Mike Davey who I believe lead the expidition and is a keen cockpit fester like himself.
