VASF RAF Kinloss

Hello Paul.
Any chance you could post the pic and info on your cockpit on the instrument panel and cockpit project thread also?

Yes I will do, give me a few days and I’ll take a good pic of the interior as well, things are a little hectic here at the moment.

Hi Mark, yes feel free to use the photo for your site. I wish Newark was closer too as it would be great to go along and meet all those people with a like minded interest. Unfortunately cockpits are pretty thin on the ground over here so there is unlikely to be an Australian CockpitFest.
Cheers Paul

Many thanks for the use of the photo.
In New Zealand there appears to be the seed of a cockpit owners display event, with the event held at Wanaka in 2006 which included an ex RAE Canberra. Maybe you could be the catalyst for something in Australia ! there must be a rich seam of potential candidates and the preservation scene appears pretty strong.
Dont know if your aware of the cockpit owners website:
www.internationalcockpitclub.org.uk
but this has an article on that event and maybe of some help in the future also.
All the best with your new acquisition and if I can help at all with any info let me know.

Cheers

Saw the following Cockpitfest 2007 item a couple of weeks ago, might be of interest.

Paul, many thanks for the picture, she looks pretty complete ! Shame its so far away as it would be a nice exhibit at the next Cockpitfest at Newark.

Any chance I can use the picture for our site ?

OK here is a photo of XX977 as it is now, I will no doubt post more as I ask some of my many questions about Jaguars.
Cheers Paul

Hi Nick
Thanks for the info, it is on a Jaguar gr1 cockpit section.
Paul

I assume this would this be XX977, formerly of the ‘Everett Airforce’

Any chance of a picture of the whole thing ?

It would have been applied after work had to be carried out at Kinloss on it by the Visiting Aircraft Servicing Flight, as Nick says.

One of the better “zaps” that I’ve seen! – and ‘zapping’ was a major industry in the Falklands after all the shouting and roaring had died down!

Visiting Aircraft Servicing Flight (a fairly accurate guess methinks).

What is your a/c?
