Mine was 24!

would you by anychance have all the numbers to exhibits?
thanks

I doubt I’ve got all of them but I can probably get most of them. Bear with me and I’ll see what I can sort out this evening.

I’m pretty sure it was the Delfin but I can check for sure when I get home this evening.

I shall have to ask him to bring a lower number next year ! Far easier to get your voting number noticed though! We ran out of numbers to hand out at something like 25 from memory!

😀 😀 😀 😀

No 29?

I’m pretty sure it was the L29 Delfin but the pic I have doesn’t have the number on it so I am only relying on grey matter!!!

Hi

could anyone tell me what cockpit No 18 was at the Fest.

I’ll be posting the usual photo review on the Cockpit Club website tonight. I started to do it last night but was too knackered to finish it!

OK, here it is CockpitFest Page
I’m a bit sketchy on one or two of the details so if anyone has anything to add/correct then please let me know.

Thanks Mark – as always!

I think that Stuarts Spitfire is a good enough reason to drive from Scotland and back to Newark. I only wish that had been able to do so. It looks fantastic! More photos please!!!

I for one would love to see more pics if some kind soul would oblige? How about a full report eh? Who won what?

The Hornet F.1 and Vampire FB.5 instrument panel display was number 21.

Hi all

has anyone the tie up with display number to cockpit/instruments displayed, I will then put up all photos taken on my website at www.c-130.co.uk

The Cockpit Fest makes me sick – because I missed it!

I had Bill Turnbull on the phone for over an hour this morning telling me how much he enjoyed himself, how the found both the exhibits and other cockpiteers absolutely wonderful. He had a fantastic time.

I for one would love to see more pics if some kind soul would oblige? How about a full report eh? Who won what?

And Stuart – hats off to you mate – amazing project that Spitfire. I wish I had your skill and determination. I’m curious now to see how far you will take it!

Roy.

Sorry chaps, late on parade with this one.
CockpitFest was great, as usual, and I thoroughly enjoyed myself as did 3 generations of the Dyer family.
It is grass root aviation heritage, yep understand that it is not always every ones cup of tea, but it is anoying when banter turns sour.

Some armchair enthusiast twit dared to call my hobby pointless (with no provocation whatsoever) whilst he builds plastic kits….at the end of the day my Hurricane project has put airworthy parts into at least four airworthy Hurricanes, one Gladiator, one Lancaster, umpteen Spitfires blah blah blah….so even if people cannot see the point, it does help in many other ways.

Well done Stuart, if I had had a £1 for every photo of your spit taken, I would be able to retire!

I shall pop up some phots tomorrow if i get time. My thanx of course go to Bill O’Sullivan, NAM and Flypast for another great fun event.
