looking at all these pictures made me think – blimey we used to have an interesting air force!

or do I mean “we used to have an air force?” 😀

phantoms, buccs, lightnings I miss you!

I’ve got a nice big bit of Victor XL511’s Pressurisation + anti icing instrument panel at home – found out it’s a falklands vet too – must find a good home for it one day – what do we reckon its worth?

Hi Zwitter,
Not to sure if you got my PM but I may be interested in buying your panel if you wanted to sell it. I am currently building the left Pilots panel of a HP Victor and your panel may compliment it. Please PM me if you have any further details. (This is where we need a Wants and Sale Forum!) Thanks Fly.Buy

Buccaneer

Its about time they opened up that Buccaneer cockpit! It seems to have been off limits for about 2 years now despite having an accessable ramp along side of it!

A Vampire crashed on 02 Aug 1952 at RAF Luqa and from records it seems to be the only Vampire crash on the Island.

Quite a few Avro Yorks have crashed in Malta, in 1958 two Avro Yorks crashed on the 25th February and 22nd May. (Incidentally one was Dan Air G-AMUT)

Perhaps your friend was referring to two Valetta’s which crashed the day after each other? These being 17th and 18th May 1953 although records show them to be RAF aircraft as opposed to civilian registered.

If you look at this web page it lists all the post war crashes in Malta and there seems to be quite a few despite it being only a small island. Good luck with your research!

Meteor panels

Enclosed are a few more pictures of some panels in my collection, the first two are front and rear Meteor T7 instrument panels. Since taking this photo the missing rate of climb instrument has now been attached to the front panel.

Queensland Air Museums

I’m off to Queensland this Easter (Sunshine Coast area) apart from QAM are there any other museums or places of aviation interest?
Many Thanks

Newark Air Museum

Just to support the above, I have been two the last two cockpitfest events and it is a most enjoyable day out. The museum normally opens a few of the dispaly aircraft up enabling you to go inside for a closer inspection, examples being Vulcan, Shackleton, Hastings, Varsity, Canberra’s etc. In addition lots of like minded people to meet and a good aerojumble to browse through. This event gets better each year and is well worth a visit!

Benboy,
Don’t know what your instrument panel is from but you may or may not find the following websites useful for confirming your suspicions (incidently these are handy websites for cockpit photos for a vast variety of aircraft). Just click on the relevent search engines for each site select “cockpits/flightdecks” and then select the type of aircraft you are trying to look for. The web sites are as follows.

1) http://www.airliners.net
2) http://www.planepictures.net
3) http://www.jetphotos.net

These sites contain photos of historic and modern military cockpits/instrument panels as well as cockpits of modern commercal aircraft. Good luck!
PS. Does any one else know of any other good sites for military cockpits or instrument panels???

There’s nothing to feel guilty about we all have to sell cherished items sometimes to move on to other projects! No doubt it will go to loving home. Would be grateful you you could send me a photo over the PM, just wondering what it looks like for curiosity reasons only. Many Thanks and good luck!

Clock

Thanks for your replies, when I originally bought it, it was sold to me as a WW1 aircraft clock but now on reflection I have my reservations. Perhaps I thought it was a British MK1 clock but subsequently looking at some pictures its obviously quite not the same. There is no inscription on the clock other than 8 Days. Its also rim wound.

Hawker Hunter

Just remembered that I had this picture saved to my drive. Another one from my collection is a Hawker Hunter blind flying panel, this aircraft was operated by F.R.A.D.U. This one was purchased by me some time back from a private collector.

Canberra T22

Another find from Shoreham aerojumble about 3 years ago is this instrument panel from EE Canberra TT22 serial “WH903” operated by F.R.A.D.U. Again the panel was void of instruments and I have slowly built it up. Since taking this picture I have added the Rad Altimeter which is fitted on the top row. I am still uncertain to what the missing instrument is on the left row, it certainly isn’t a MK6 standby horizon as the hole is to big. Any one with any knowledge of what it could be would be greatley appreciated. I have a few other panels in my collection and will try to get some more photo’s submitted.
