Halifax rudder pedals

Hi all,

Today I picked up the set of Halifax rudder pedals which a friend made for me from drawings I supplied. I can tell you that I was stunned to see the
end result.

Do you agree?

Cheers

If you find me a throttle box, I’m sure you can all be forgiven 😀 😀

Up until the early eighties there was a complete cockpitsection of one including turret in the failsworth scrapyard.

A lost opportunity.

I got these today from Karl Kjarsgaard (also to be seen in the pics, and who of course was instrumental in raising Halifax NA337).

Photo’s taken in 2004. Strange that even today these historic aircraft are left to rot. Peter knows where 😉

Take pics of it whenever you like – I think I will be a little to busy to take many so I am happy for you to come – remember to have your visa this time !!!!

The wing centre section is still proving problematical as discussed – too large for containers etc and i don’t favour cutting as this destroys the dimenstioal references which will be vital for it’s restoration . Any leads on an undercarriage yet

It gave way unfortunately.

Halifax W1048 at the RAF Museum still has it’s original paint, at least what’s left of it.

At 23:00 the Dutch version of National Geografic Channel will broadcast a programme about the search for the Avro Arrow. This program is part of the “sea hunters” series, and will probably also be shown at the UK NGC. Don’t know if that will be tonight though.

I’ve seen it and I thought it was a dissapointment regarding the diving but the story on the Arrow was very interesting.

After having a go at the Arrow models, they went after rockets instead. At one point they were at Trenton, oh if they only had made some shots of NA337. Oh well.

Thanks for that – it took me a long time to knock out that pic – photoshop is a great thing – Now for some nice shots of the Hungarian 6 engined Superbomber captured by the Russians and sent to a secret Siberian factory – so secret they forgot where it is to this day………………700 very easy quid – will get me to Leg Ends and buy us a nice few beers

Well John,

The over 10.000 pounds paid last year for a reproduction Lancaster instrument panel would get you much more than that. 😀

Hi Peter,

Just got back from a weeks holiday. What a nice way to start normal life again, however there is another week off to go. 🙂 I knew about these panels but the colour versions are much better.

The top left engine is a sleeve valve engine made by Bristol and looks to be a Centaurus (then again I can’t tell a Hercules from a Centaurus in a photo).

Hi
This is one of those areas where YAMs halifax may have lead me astray. Have built what is shown in photo for addition later. The groundwork for many of the areas I am working on now are based on stuff 3 years ago. NA337 pics were a bit thin on the ground then. Will have to stay with the version I have modelled as its a bit late to grind out an opening for the levers. What do you recon to the YAM fuel cocks. If they are not right where did they get the idea to fit them? Currently working on the starboard side wall.

Cheers
Phil

Phil,

The fuel levers on YAM’s aircraft are acceptable if not authentic, they look very original/ The guard of course doesn’t look like the real thing but that is chearly shown on the sketch you posted above, so should be no problem.

Cheers
