Just a guess here Mike, in the photo you are using above it appears the left and right hand beams have angled mounting points at the top, could the right hand beam have the apex of the triangular cutout extended on the inner face? You will need to find a photo of the other side of either the left or right hand beams to compare them.

I think the back of the Anson photo says RAF OFFICIAL.

Yes you’re right Andy, wrinkle finish it is.

Hi Rob,
I like your idea but would prefer to have it all look old in this case, in fact I’ve liked that idea for a long time and have this Grumman Mohawk cockpit in storage until I’ve finished with some of my other projects when I’ll get to work on it. My plan is to draw a line down the centre, keep the starboard side exactly as it is now and restore the port side to ‘as new’ condition, should look good (I think anyway).
Hello Mr Fouga,
the main panel is roughly 4 feet wide and 2 feet high – that’s a big bucket of screws.
Cheers Paul

Hi Geoff, I’ve sent you a PM.
Regards Paul

Hi Jesper
Since I started the other thread you refer to I thought I better reply here, I have very little hands on experience with WW2 aircraft but am learning quickly. Attached is a photo of 2 small fragments of AVRO Lincoln cockpit rail that go behind the skin I was asking about, a quick going over gives the following measurements between rivets;
Top row Port 52mm, 55mm
Top row Starboard 52mm, 52mm
Middle row Port 14, 18, 22, 25, 25, 16, 20mm
Middle row Starboard 16, 23, 27, 26, 28, 30mm
Read into this what you will.
Regards Paul

Thanks Peter

Now if someone has the drawings for a late model Lanc or Lincoln glareshield with the 2 raised portions I would be very interested. Even some photos with dimensions are all I need. I’ve got the 2 triangular side sections covered but not the middle part.

Cheers Paul
