    Good to see some salvageable parts from Oscar Victor Sierra considering the number of times over the years it was set alight!

    Just wish the co pilots panel had still been there! oh well…… :rolleyes:

    I dont think she has ever been set alight as she has and still is only used for breathing apparatus training. Could be wrong though of course 🙂

    Ok really wild guess time, Jon, how about a Brittania?

    Bingo!!!

    Now I could be cruel and get you to guess the plane reg as well but will be kind and admit it is from G-AOVS at Luton.

    The fire department there very kindly let me go over VS at the weekend for parts to help with G-ANCF. Having got the panel home and realised that anything of use on it we already had (doh!) on CF decided that rather than junk it it would be nice to try and restore it as it differs from CF’s so would make an interesting comparison.

    So on that note if anyone has any spare Brit panel parts please let me know 😀

    Which makes it far too easy for me and would spoil the fun!

    I’ll be pretty impressed if anyone can guess what it’s from.

    Think I will let people have a few more guesses then reveal all around lunchtime 🙂

    Jon H, from the photo could it be from a 4 engine jet of some description? Id say its a Pilots panel and central panel and on the bottom right hand side there seems to be 2 twin EGT guages……. however I may well be totally wrong and look forward to the correct answer. 😀 Bex

    4 engined yes, not a pure jet engined beast but an element in there and it is missing the co pilots panel as things stand…

    Keep guessing 😀

    Hello All

    In 1959 I worked for the late great Freddy Laker on Bristol Britannias flying out of Stanstead. Freddy was the real driving force behind cheap charter flights for the masses. The company name was Aviation Traders.
    It would be a fitting memorial if G-AOVF could be painted in those colours.

    Knowing what i know of Laker (Mum is ex Laker and stopped flying to have me!) surely a DC10 in Skytrain colours would be more apt for the late Sir Freddie 😀
