Looking for Vickers Valiant Cockpit photos

I am currently making a 3d model of the Valiant and have hit a few small issues now that i have begun to model the cockpit. I have been unable to find any pictures of the Centre console, The bomb aimers position, and the instrument/control panels that are located either side of the upper section of the cockpit.
Would anyone happen to have any photos of the above mentioned areas?
Any help would be appreciated 🙂

Valiant cockpit

Or, if you live in the south of England, there’s a Valiant nose section in the Brooklands Museum…. PM me if you can’t get down here; I should be able to photograph inside it.

Looking for Vickers Valiant Cockpit Photos

If you are able to come up to Inverness, not only can you sit in a Valiant cockpit, you can smell it. Even after 50 years there is still a distinct smell – electrical components and pee. We have to ask children, and adults, not to use the pee tubes as speaking tubes!

If you can’t get to Highland Aviation Museum, contact me and let me know what you need photographed. I can also send you extracts from the Valiant A.P. with labelled diagrams of the cockpit and crew stations.

Ive already visited thunder and lightnings a couple of times. The pictures have been useful but they dont appear to go far enough round to the sides in the pictures of the top half of the cockpit.

There’s a walkaround here that may be of some use.
