These are a couple of items I picked up over the weekend although I have no idea what they are off!
My initial guess would be Shackleton for the astrodome and Venom for the screen – please can you help me confirm either?

Any numbering on the metalwork?
Sadly know as quite corroded.

Out of interest does anyone have an astro compass mounting for a Varsity fits below the astrodome with a long pin at each end.

Blackburn Beverly, the unsung hero of transports. Served a year on 47Sqdn at Abingdon…….a long time ago.

Too long ago to remember any details but try searching for Blackburn Beverly.
Hi
Many thanks for your reply.. i did see a Blackburn Beverley C Mk.1 XB261 cockpit at Newark from the outside id thought id nailed it, but after entering inside the brackets were different and the dome itself looked very slightly smaller. not to say that there may be a different version but one of the closest yet. i will keep researching the Beverley though.
Cheers.

Thanks Jon, what a weird coincidence that was! Although you have a few more goodies than me! What are the other screens panels off?
Thanks for the ID.

Can’t say for sure but I found what appears to be an identical astrodome ‘nipple’ at an RAF Liberator GR.VIII crash site

What a weird coincidence.
Been doing a spot of tidying/shifting this afternoon and – snap!
Single seat Venom/Vampire windscreen, and a Vickers Varsity Astrodome.
