I am building up a representation of a Meteor cockpit, gradually collecting what bits I can. Can anyone recommend where I might find some detailed pictures of an Meteor NF.14 cockpit (front) including around the gunsight area. Also, where one can find pictures of the rear cockpit of a Javelin. Finally, where might one find pictures of the interior of a manned B-52 rear-turret? Most grateful for any help.

I have NF14 Photos from our WS774 rebuild if you want them

Just spotted this one – sadly the front and rear cockpits on NAM’s Javelin FAW.8 are both incomplete so there’s nothing to be gained from photographing them and I’m not sure whether they have the APs in the archive?
Likewise the Meteor NF14 is incomplete although I believe they may currently be working on replacements as part of this restoration project. Would you like me to check what references they’re working from?

If you scroll down THIS thread there are some photos of the area you are searching for?

Write to the RAF Museum at Hendon, they will send you photocopy diagrams/pictures of both cockpits from the pilots notes for a small photocopy charge.
