Birth of a Spitfire. If you want a copy, there’s a few on Amazon just now.

Cool, thanks !

😀

Dunno… you may be right…. 3, 4, 5 figures….. i still recall thinking “oooh thats a lot of money”, but it was on the old ICC forum which got fried so i can’t check.

MarkG may have access to the older stuff ?

.

There is a surviving mark 30 cockpit/nose existing here in Australia however this project has not proceeded with any reliance on accessing that object and it is not expected to be available for the project, but does form a wonderful reference for photographs and dimensions………

…….. Perhaps in time its original cockpit can be acquired? and re-fitted?

Cor…. don’t you just hate it when you need a nose section, and the one available can’t be had ?

Just like the Yorkshire Air Museum’s Halifax project and the (stubborn) IWM wih the nose of the ex-Radlett PN323. Hopefully you may have better luck and the Camden museum will see the merits in donating/offering the nose of A73-27.

Good luck Mark

Thanks for mine Tony

Well its available now on DVD – see ebay!

What ‘Airline’ is….? :confused:

There is/was a large quantity (6+ ?) in store within Sopley Camp not far from Hurn.

No the Vulcan nose is no longer in Hangar 1, in fact there are no cockpits on display in Hgr1 anymore., big space to hold a hangar party though……….

Mark,

Any idea where the walk through B.1 nose is then ?

I couldn’t see it on site either last September or November when i was there, and as it’s quite big, i assumed it was in the new hall.

Cheers…….

Am sure this has been advertised before, in fact IIRC it was on ebay not so long ago – pretty sure its ex Failsworth…. David or Mk12 will know…

Yes, WB440 ex-Failsworth. Was on eBay starting (and unsold) at £14K ten months ago, and there was some debate over it’s worth at the time, but see here………
