DH88 Comet cockpit photographs

Hi Photomaker

Send me a PM with your e-mail.

Cheers

Actually I did read it completely some time ago! I was just starting to go through it again but not in a specific order.

I looked up the thread you gave the link to and it was very interesting!

If you have high resolution photographs of the restored Comet I would be gratefull! I saw the one you posted in low resolution.

Many thanks

I was reading the book DH88 de Havilland’s Racing Comets but was a bit dissapointed at not seeing more than 1 cockpit photograph.

Um… By reading, I presume you mean ‘looking at the pictures’? David Ogilvy points out in that book that part of the problem that the restoration team had was the fact that there are no good or high quality contemporary photos taken of the cockpit interior – they had to figure out where many bits went by trial and error.

I posted a still from the Pathe website in this thread:
here. You might be able to get stills from Pathe, but you aren’t going to get any ‘in cockpit’ photos from the thirties. But I’d be delighted if you prove me wrong! There’s a photo of the cockpit that I took on the following page, BTW. I’ll see if I can finf the high res version if you want.

Good luck.

That looks very nice! It is already the best I have seen!
Do you have more showing the rest of the cockpit layout?
