More cockpits/angles from Weston Super Mud.

Cockpit open day on 14th April at the helicopter museum – well worth the trek down the M5.

Heres the cargo bay of the Avro York at Cosford.

and another……..

Hi folks –

Here’s a few piccies of JP, Lincoln, Hunter, York, Vulcan and Gnat cockpits at Cosford. Taken at thier open cockpit day last year or the year before (can’t keep up with it!!).

They’re not in any particular order.

Cheers

The TSR2 is a truly magnificent aircraft….I am currently making dynavectors model of it, more or less as you see it in the museum, with a couple of differences (one of which I am very unhappy about but have little choice)

It is my understanding that the TSR2 at cosford has operable electronics, it is indeed essentially complete bar the engines. However I have no idea about what, if anything, is in the starboard avionics bay.

There is a cut away engine right next to the aircraft, along with a sectioned undercarriage leg, and also an ejection seat mounted on a pole, I have enough photo’s for a pretty comprehensive walk around now, including the cockpits which are also essentially complete.

The guys in charge at cosford are very keen to keep this aircraft safe.

It is also my understanding that a great deal of parts(including major sub assemblies dont know exactly what) were rediscovered in one of the MOD hangars at Aston down, and were put up for auction and bought immediatly. (as you would!)

I would like to see this aircraft outside on a nice day on the ‘new’ jp pans on the other side of the fence, you’d get some excellent shots like that.

Cosfords is truly a unique collection, better than Duxfords in some respects apart of course from the flying element.

regards the belfast, its a wopping big aircraft! its still basically complete, and probably wouldnt take much to have it flying again if the structure is ok.

nice shots kev!

Well said dhfan..I think that if projects like M.52, TSR.2 and P1154 were aloud to go ahead, Britain would lead the world, as it used to, in revolutionary aircraft and engineering. Instead of vacuum cleaners and clock-work radio’s.

Don’t wish to make light of your situation, but your pics give us a different and interesting slant on things.
I took one when I was there from almost exactly the same position (embarrassing, found the unprocessed film in the camera bag the other day) and I suspect yours is the more impressive shot.

Anybody see the prog on Ch5 last night about the JSF? Part 2 next week. They were talking about the Harrier being too slow.
If those treasonous b******s that cancelled the P1154 at the same time as TSR2 hadn’t been around we’d have had a supersonic one over 30 years ago.
