Anyone have any Drawings, or an Empty Meteor Instrument Panel?

Instruments ??

Hi, just wondered if any of you have any old spare instruments available ,at better prices than, Ebay, i am have only recently started, and have about 5 so far, but i begrudge paying ebay prices, does anyone have any instruments or cockpit parts for a meteor going spare ?? ,or Vampire single seater,
that i could buy, ?? also still looking for that elusive technical drawing, of the panels, and try and get some made via laser cutter,

any help or tips greatly recieved,
i reckon at this rate i will be doing a dave collins, building a cockpit from the inside out , and why not , if you cant get the real thing,
thanks in anticipation,
Chris C

meteor

Which one you talking about? I was refering to the one on the farm with Sea Hawk, Vamp etc 🙂

Jon

😮 , Oh Sorry, i thought you were talking about the Meteor at Sennybridge
Range ,
yep i fully agree the one on the farm is WH166, a T.7, , Oh what a shame,
she is a gorgeous bird, just rotting, such a shame

the one on the sennybridge range is a F8, or at least i think it is ? 😀

Yep Jon is correct the one at Birlingham is def a T7. I think the last but one Wrecks and Relics has a colour pic of the aircraft in it.

😮 😮 ,

oops , I was sure it was a F8 because of the cockpit, isnt a T7 a 2 seater ??
or is this a hybrid ??:confused:
from memory in the book , it was stated as a F8, but i havent seen the book for some time,
and as for the Mystere IVA cockpit, well, ive never seen one, not in private anyways, ?:eek:
would love to see pics of that one ,

thanks for correcting me though, 😮 😉

Do we know what Mark of Meteor? I .can’t quite reslove the Tailplane & cockpit on the G.E. image. Better still, if it’s an F.8 Has anyone got an address?

Its a T.7

meteor

Ive written to the DSA, who deal with disposal,
because really the C/O would have to put it to them anyway, as they deal with all the disposal of MOD equiptment,
I have put in a offer for the Meteor, its a F8
but as of yet have heard nothing back,
also be aware of any aircraft built under the lend lease agreement,
Ie T-33s and Mystere’s you might get given one, but you could also get a knock on the door where the american military would insist it is scrapped ,
I would love a mystere, and it would be a first cockpit wise, theres a few about, and it was quite a record breaker in its day,

😡 At the Mo i want to do a rear panel, I know where i can get a meteor too, and nearly had it ,but the Bloody top brass wouldnt allow it, the F8 at sennybridge, planes shot to bits but the cockpit could be saved,
I am actively seeking a cockpit, but it has to be a single seater, and it has to be a Meteor(Drool, i wish ) Vampire , Venom, or a early Hunter, But its like banging my head aginst the wall, as when i got the money, theres no one willing to sell, and when i have no money three pop up at once , bloody mr bad luck, Ive even gone so far as to research crashed ones, and obtain a licence for a recovery, (loads in the hole) it was a bale out ,

Bloody bangin me head against a wall, How many others feel like that out there, and then theres some people with Whole collections who just keep getting Bigger a Bigger !!, Leave some for the little people eh ,,
Cheers

oh and as for that meteor, vampire, hunter, seahawk, etc etc, Ahem (preserved0/Dumped, at a Farm in Birlingham, well its criminal, i keep looking at it and Just the chance to own one of them, would be a lifetimes ambition,
but its not illegal to buy a plane and let it rot, or so they keep telling me,
even the poor old Vampire there has collapsed !!!
😡
one word, “Gutted”,

Meteor instrument panel

While you’re scratting round the shed looking for T7 bits, does anyone have a Mk8 main panel?
Got just about everything else (control column tops and instruments in abundance) but not a sniff of a main panel.
I think mine was nicked, along with the control column (which was sawn off half-way down) when my jet (WK914) sat at Duxford for 20-odd years.
It was certainly present when the jet left Rochester.
Oh, and while you’re searching for the panel, has anybody got a spare Mk.8 nose cone? I’ve got an ugly old FR.9 nose on my jet at the mo (part-ex?).

I have a complete T.7 panel, there are pictures of it on the forum here somewhere. Can post pics and dimemsions if still required.

Which one?

Which panel? front, rear or both? my son max is rebuilding a T-7 rear at the moment.
