    its a crying shame that she now seems to have been cut 🙁

    From what I have read simple economics I am afraid. Cheapest and easiest way to move a Lightning without stripping it down but maintaining structural integrity.

    Evening all,

    After some help from the Coventry contingent on here.

    Does anyone have either a picture of or recollect what the interior was like whilst she was at Baginton? For example were the passenger seats still in and if so how were they arranged and what colour were they.

    As you will see from pictures earlier in the thread, below the windows we have nothing to work from. We spent Sunday documenting what we could that still survives and were rather surprised to find evidence of a toilet cubicle we previously didnt know about!

    Really sorry to hear Druid 🙁 As said countless times already a truly lovely dog.

    All the guys at the JSC send their sympathies.

    I assume you mean the flight deck of Starbug? 😉

    Going totally from memory – the chairs had armrests and the head boxes were of the Mk.3 to Mk.7 style. So will stick my neck out and say Martin Baker Mk.3 as found in Vulcans and Victors 🙂

    Seems to all come down to what you feel happy using.

    All this talk of metalwork is once again tempting me to start a cockpit recreation….!!! Though I could never decide what to do lol

    Whats wrong with using an angle grinder with a cutting disk?

    Removes any chatter and hence damaged the edges of either or both sides and the width of the disk will help keep you running straight.

    Has anyone got a definitive list showing serial numbers against AWA set numbers? Just wondering if anything will stand out….?

    Also just to further muddy the waters the plate on WV903 reads S4 / V8 / 269

    http://s545.photobucket.com/albums/hh391/XE584/ hopefully this will take you to photo bucket where I have the first batch of pictures.

    Ah ha!! The fabled data plate is in there!!

    Have cropped image to help.

    My initial guess is S4 / VB or 8 / 6301

    Anyone else?

    the firewall is quite bent mate (pardon the phrasing there) as far as im aware it was an insurance write off and went to a dealer down south who has several more cockpits at a bit of a steeper price

    this one was secured by the chairman at NEAM for me

    Doesnt help having an integrated engine and nose leg mount! WV838 with help from me dismantled the fuselage of G-LFSD up at the flying school over the summer (in the sim building queue for WV838 at work 😉 ) that had been written off with the same type of damage.
