    G’day

    Latest news is that we will also be having someone bring along their Lancaster instrument panel which should look good alongside the Me109E, Spitfire and others. The numbers of people attending is slowly swelling to the point where I have had to ask another friend to come along and help me run everything, it is good to see that a number of people are bringing their kids or grandkids – hopefully we can ignite an aviation spark in them.

    In answer to daniels questions;
    The cockpits will be undercover except for the Hunter which will be outside, if the weather is really bad we will get that undercover as well. Instrument panels and other displays will be inside.
    Food will not be available although we will be organising a run down to the shops around lunchtime for anyone here at that point. Free tea and coffee will be provided, one of my friends is bringing a cappuccino machine as well.
    No entry fee.
    The Jag and Su22 will be open for anyone who wishes to climb inside, Battle will decide on access to the Hunter separately.
    We are doing our best to reduce the OH&S issues involved with cockpit access.

    Fingers crossed that the weather improves as it is VERY cold in Melbourne at the moment.

    Hello and thanks again.
    What about the red handle and grey lever with the arrow on it in this photo. Also with the fuel gauge, which is the internal and external needles?

    Hi Su-50,
    The information you have supplied is fantastic, it is so hard to find details of these aircraft in English. In your picture 4.jpg what is the silver lever/switch in the lower left corner, I operated it once and it seems to be some sort of extra air for opening the canopy???
    Here is a photo of my Su22 cockpit. I may have more questions for you soon.
    Thanks again Paul

    Since the search function still seems to be down can anyone PM me the forum names of known Aussie members, I was going to look up the RAAF Biannual pageant where a group of us got together but can’t find it at the moment.

    I just thought I would bump this thread up to the top again and include some photos of the cockpit participants to drum up a bit more interest. It is a great opportunity to meet fellow enthusiasts and study some iconic cockpits in great detail.

    It was fairly spacious, what surprised me the most was the width of the canopy sills – they were about 8 inches wide! There was still compass correction cards etc in their holders.

    I love the idea of a skype hook up but have to say the time difference is really against us. At 1400 hrs on Saturday afternoon here it will be 0400 hrs on Saturday morning in the UK, I know you guys are pretty dedicated but doubt much will be going on at that time. Alternatively 1200 hrs in the UK would be 2200 hrs here and no one will be hanging around that long except me.

    Sorry to put a dampener on it.

    I think it is an EB-57E, not really sure of the different designations though, pic taken in Australia.
