If Les has not helped you Roy then try these. Sorry for the slight blur but my hand is about as steady as a jack hammer! 😀

Does she have her engines fitted?

Yes she does. Two Rolls Royce Derwents.

Yes she did serve with 64sqn, when she first came into service in the mid 50’s.

We chose these markings after doing some extensive research into her history and when we found out she was based at Duxford in this squadron, we went straight for that scheme as we were having difficulty maintaining the yellow on her.

Thanks for the picture. I only have a side on shot of her in B&W 😉

My Hero! 🙂

Thanks Rob. Two things I’m looking for:

1. is the distance between the main instrument panel and the two small panels which sit above and either side. I _think_ the left panel sits further forward than the right one – can you confirm?

2. On the right console is an oblongish red warning covering three lights. What does it say??

3. There is no 3.

Very sincerest thanks.

Roy. (covered in crap from spending all day painting his sea hawk).

I can’t remember off hand at the moment but I’ll find out tomorrow and photograph it. Hopefully we’ll be able to answer that question for you then 😉

Wow… what a beautiful job. Nice to see a Sea Hawk getting some much deserved TLC. Thank you for sharing the pics with us.

Don’t suppose you’ve any decent cockpit pics of the Sea Hawk do you?

Cheers,

Roy.

I’ll take some for you tomorrow and post them when I get back in this thread. 😉

Gannet XA508

Here’s recently restored Gannet XA508. Again both Malcolm and Gordon played the biggest part in this project. Not bad considering it was done over three weeks in the winter.

WV797

Recently restored at the museum was Sea Hawk WV797. Malcolm and Gordon have to take credit for this project and considering how long it took (not very long at that) it now looks very nice indeed.

See for yourselves:-

My the old wheelbarrow did indeed need some TLC!

Yes she does need it and we have an excellent group of members now that put in some good work hense the amount of work being done on aircraft at the museum. I’ll post some more shots I took today in a bit of the other projects 😉
