Hi everyone , I need some help to find photos of the following cockpits :
Bristol Brigand
Hawker Sea Fury
Supermarine Attacker
For some reasons, photos of those original cockpits are quite difficult to find 🙁 so any help would be more than welcome 🙂
Thanks in advance,
Olivier

Pleasure.
Remind me in a couple of weeks and I’ll see what I can dig out on Sea Furies. I’ve a shot of the RNHF Sea Fury cockpit taken the end of last year, and it’s very authentic, though obviously safe for current UK flying.
Cheers

The IWM has very good quality photos of the Sea Fury cockpit, for certain, and I’d imagine the others. You can order prints. They are the official Air Min shots used in some cases for the pilots notes, but mainly the government record of what service entry a/c looked like. http://collections.iwm.org.uk and go to Photographic Archive.
Cheers!
