Following a recent thread on a short visit to Fenland and West Norfolk Museum, and the huge interest shown in Ray’s (Shed Man) build of a Whirlwind cockpit replica, I have been asked, by Ray, to post more photos of the on going build of the second phase …. I am sure Ray will come along to answer any questions you may have ! I am happy to be his photo posting link …… enjoy……. Keith.

Nearly done
I have finished making the control column, using broom handle for the stick bit and carved balsa and insulating tape for the spade grip. The brake lever I used double glazing strip warmed up with a hot air gun and bent to shape.
The gun buttonand camera gun switch are plastic tops ,but I managed to make them spring loaded ” Dagga dagga “
The canopy plastic is in , after a struggle , it don’t half pop about.
