One for Cees – Halibag Nav seat?

Hi Cees, No news, I assume that their memories will last until I get back and they will not have thrown them out. I have asked my partner to check on the cockpit glazing moulds. His visits are predicated by the weather.

Incidentally I think we have a spare wop seat.

Actually guys it looks like a Wireless Op’s seat to me.

Doesn’t the Nav’s seat fold out of the starboard side, over the forward escape hatch?

Hi Deryck,

You’re correct (forgot to mention that earlier) this is indeed the wireless operaters seat as located beneathe the pilot’s position. In my cockpit this area is left out because of height restrictions.

Any news about the Halifax leftovers we have been talking about regularly?

Cheers

Cees

That seat.

Thanks for you help chaps

But as the current bid is 155 pounds it seems that there is a great interest in the “other” bomber.

I give it a miss.
But it shows that interesting things still turn up.

Cheers

Cees

Delivery sounds verry expensive. Had a Beaufighter seat sent from Australia last year for £4o

Y’see we’re all keen to help ya Cees – even if you do love the wrong aircraft …. a Stirling’s what you should be lusting after … :diablo:

Yes this is a genuine seat including the original leather upholtery. I already contacted the vendor but shipping would be about 150 pounds. No thanks.

Cees,

PM sent re’ shipping, as theres a truck off to Germany soon.

😀

£150 to ship it! Bloody hell!

Cees – he can ship it to me if need be am sure its less than that – Alex sent me two T-6 seats from Italy Fedex for less than $50!

If I can help in any way – please let me know (if you want to bid that is – but its not ‘spitfire’ so it may reach less than £2834364732)!

I do have a similar seat but without the upholstery.

Cheers

Cees

Ben,

I wouldn’t say its a repeat as such, so no apology required. I guess the guy has a stash of them in varying conditions, but i’m sure Cees will comment in detail as it just looks like a…. er….. seat to me ! 😮

.

Cheers Dave, sorry to repeat, missed the other thread….

Ben,
