Thanks all. In my ignorance i thought it was some kind of sand paper glued on. I am really pushed for time so glueing and sand blast sand sounds good as i have the materials, what sort of glue should I use?

Thanks

Graham

You do ask the most searching of questions, don’t you?

When the chap showed me, I didn’t think to ask what glue he’d used; you could try water proof PVA on a spare piece of metal, as a test piece.

I was going to mention the bit of blue “sky” between the stbd trailing edge and the fuselage, was a different colour to all the “other” sky…….

Apart from those cockpits clearly transported on their own trailers I wonder if anyone can share photographs of some of the others being transported or unloaded. How do people moving more than one cockpit do this? eg a Scimitar, Sea Vixen and Hunter!!!!!

Tony collins (owner of the above) has designed the frames to sit on his Ifor Williams flat trailer, they jack up, he backs the trailer under, they lower down, and the legs remove; He’s a professional!!

That`s cheap !! You`d get over £100 for the vacuum change over on that panel alone.does anyone know which aircraft the section came from ?

The seller had it narrowed down to one of three.

Am I right in thinking that Al Deere stopped naming his A/C “Kiwi”, as originally he thought it would bring him some luck, but after a while it dawned on him that it might not be?

Yes an excellent day (probably both but I was only there Saturday), probably the most cockpits ever, and the best weather for a few years.

Well done to Tony Collins with the Scimitar, no one should under estimate the amount of work on the cockpit, or indeed the parts gathering for an almost extinct type.

BTW where was everyone 12 0/clock saturday? I was under the tail of the Vulcan as arranged…..

Which one of you bought the Lincoln windscreen/instrumentpanel/fuselage section? very tempting….

only if it was cheap….
