Lancaster Front Section Build

Hi Geoff, I’ve sent you a PM.
Regards Paul

Project has one main aim [which it appears to be achieving] ,to occupy more of the garage space ,and there by to p%%% the wife off

Great work. Is this scheduled to be displayed anyway public ally on completion?

Thanks for the comment Malcolm,must admit this week has been a real pain in the workshop.Going through a Canadian summer,temps here are in the low 90s.

That is good work. Most enjoyable to watch.

Working on the Flt engineers seat frame and back support

What an amazing piece of work!

Geoff,

If you can give me the exact location (and the mounting blocks are still there), I can take pics of FM212 for you.

Cheers,
Don

Thank you all for the kind words.I wonder if might ask again for a bit of help?? I am still looking for information [a photo would be fantastic] about the mounting blocks used to hold the 1155/1154 units to the support panel.I have made up the support brackets .Thanks in advance

Geoff,

Fantastic work! Any chance you will be moving to Windsor soon?? We could use your skills on FM212’s restoration!

That stunning understatement is impressive. It realy looks like a Lancaster
Cockpitfloor instead of a collection of scattered parts. This is the most enjoyable
Part of such projects.

Stunning is an understatement..

Wow.. impressive is an understatement!

Been some progress[ATTACH=CONFIG]218560[/ATTACH][ATTACH=CONFIG]218561[/ATTACH][ATTACH=CONFIG]218562[/ATTACH][ATTACH=CONFIG]218563[/ATTACH][ATTACH=CONFIG]218564[/ATTACH][ATTACH=CONFIG]218565[/ATTACH][ATTACH=CONFIG]218566[/ATTACH][ATTACH=CONFIG]218560[/ATTACH][ATTACH=CONFIG]218561[/ATTACH][ATTACH=CONFIG]218562[/ATTACH][ATTACH=CONFIG]218563[/ATTACH][ATTACH=CONFIG]218564[/ATTACH][ATTACH=CONFIG]218565[/ATTACH][ATTACH=CONFIG]218566[/ATTACH],things are fitting together.The control column and wheel are fabricated,cutting the center splines was fun.Now I just need to work out how to get them in

one word….beautiful!

More progress

Well at last the pilots floor is off my bench…….and now the project is getting biggerrrrrrrrr

Thanks for the comments,hope no one minds if answer the latest questions in just one message.So here goes…..

Peter ..my mistake yes the undercart lever guard.

Wyvanrfan…..The only original bits used in the pilots floor assembly are the trim wheel ,electric junction boxes ,oxygen outlet and the deicer pump.Everything else has been fabricated using Avro drawings,backed up with dimensions etc from real examples.Iwas lucky enough to “work” with the team at Downsview [Toronto here in Canada] Which gave me access to a real stripped airframe the now boxed up FM104.Part of my contribution was a repro pilots seat,control wheel and turret parts.Here in Canada B.A.,B.S.F.and WHITWORTH threads are unknown.

When the floor unit is finally finished ,the project will start to get bigger.

You mean the cover for the landing gear lever right?

Beautiful Work Geoff…

What a work of art Geoff, outstanding effort!!
