I’ll have to nip down to Morup and have a look at what they’ve got. There are some well respected Swedish names (some of whom I am acquainted with) on the governing board, so their organisation seems sound enough, not a bunch of pimply youths, anyway!

Very similiar to the main panel of VP519. Is it for sale ?

.

I dont think so it belongs to a member of this new museam in Sweden. They have an awesome HE111 project seems to be lots of wreckage in Sweden.

Graham,

The left side is clearly Anson, (I am used to looking at Mark I’s smiles) so I assume its a late model Anson such as a Mk XIX etc.

The Mark 1 was only a half panel

Well as stated previously its certainly not WW2, I intially fancied it myself but it looks too much like hard work, anything with square cut outs normally spells grief, this being instrumentation which is hard to get hold of. When I first saw the panel due to the colour and amount of instrumentation I thought of a RAF transaport type aircraft, however on checking cockpit diagrams it doesn’t appear to be VC10, Tristar, Nimrod, Herc, Andover or anything else I can think of. If you don’t know what type of aircraft its come from then its going to be that much harder to restore!

looks a bit like the right hand chair in a B29…..the shape is right, but every pic I see has different instrument packages.

I’m not completely sure until I have a chance to look at the cowlings for our B-25 but they sure look like that’s what it is.

Nope if it has zeus fastenings round it then it is from a Harvard/T-6, port side front fuselage almost certain of it – !!!

Looks like an upper wingnacelle fairing to me with the upper part fitting behind a carburetter intake as used on the Halifax or Stirling (or Lanc II). The inspection panel looks very similar as I have seen on Halifaxes.

Just a thought.

Looks like a fairing covering for a filter, or intake, of some kind. There appears to be the remnants of a camouflage paint job too.

Are there any data plates or stencilled markings on it?
