Hi folks –

Here’s a few piccies of JP, Lincoln, Hunter, York, Vulcan and Gnat cockpits at Cosford. Taken at thier open cockpit day last year or the year before (can’t keep up with it!!).

They’re not in any particular order.

Cheers

So the pilot was killed in the crash according to the seller’s write up.

Surely the cannopy would have at least cracked if not smashed in such a fatal crash???

I agree – it looks like a hunter.

BBC Midlands Today called it a Meteor. Obviously been looking through their I-Spy book of aeroplanes again.

Yes the other was for Farnborough.

I take it that the F-27 cockpit is the one on E-bay for £400. Looks a nightmare from the photos of it. Didn’t like the way the control collumns had been cut off…ouch. 😀

Thanks for all the replies.

Fingers crossed that we can do something about her.

Although I was a non ‘technical’ trade in the RAF, I’m handy with a can of WD30 and a spanner. I’m quite willing to give up time to help.

Lets keep the thread ‘live’ and who knows what people power can achieve.

Scotty

Ps. Anyone know of cheap flatbed hire??? 😉

Hi everyone.

Its a while since I’ve posted to the forum but I’ve been reading the updates about the Swift at Shepards Surplus with interest.

I know the owner doesn’t want to sell it and wants a harrier in exchange but I feel it’s getting to the stage where this old girl is going to end up in bits in a scrappy before anything can be done about it.

How about some of us ‘locals’ (well Worcester is close to Leominster) get together and try to persuade the owner to part company with her? Maybe talking to and getting his son on side might help….?!!

I understand the logistics in moving/relocating an aircraft might be daunting but where there’s a will…! Many hands make light work. etc. etc.

Maybe getting an ATC squadron involved…….

Comments/Suggestions/Ideas????

Anyway action needs to be taken sooner rather than later.

Cheers

Scotty

RE: Joke– read please

Folks this joke is a bastardization of what happened sometime in the 70’s on TV’s Opportunity Knocks with Hughie Green.

Hughie was talking to one of the acts – an old Polish gentleman who it turned out to be a former Spitfire pilot with a number of kills to his credit.

To cut a long story short, the chap was saying “I dived one way and got behind a fokker and managed to get a few rounds off and hit him and he went down into the ground, then a fokker got behind me and hit my tail”. It was at this point that Hughie turned to the audience and said “A fokker is a type of plane.”

“Yes – thats quite true”, said the Polish chap, “but these fokkers were Messerschmitt’s.”

Jim Davidson took great delight in retelling it back in October on BBC1.

Sorry to be a killjoy.
