    Hi Peter,

    No the frame was just made up from readily available aluminium angles and bolts. Very simple but effective.

    Here are some piccies of my panels.

    Oh, and before I forget, we (a friend of mine who is building his own Lancaster cockpit section and myself) have found a workspace where both cockpits will be constructed and put on display.

    Cheers

    Hi Roger,

    I just saw it on the six o’clock news. So they finally pulled it off. It’s getting crowded at Lelystad.

    Pity, even after a mass scrapping there must be bits and pieces left. Look at the South African Spits.

    It was about dumped Barracudas that had been pushed over the side from a british aircraft carrier. The project was serious in planning but I haven’t heard through 57Resue sources about it anymore than you. I think Karl is busy at the moment to find LW170 (and rightly so).

    How about digging up the Barracuda bits that was posted sometime ago on this forum. Closer to home and less wet.

    There’s been (IIRC) a short article in AM a few months ago showing pictures of the “Clearing of the attic” at Delft – will dig it out and see what is told there regarding the fate of those substantial components (other than what was used for the Museum’s a/c – reportedly a composite airframe based on 44-12125, the other aircraft used as Instructional airframe being 44-12149.

    Actually it is quite interesting (and rarely noticed by visitors) that the Museum aircraft is resting on T-6 wheels…….

    Hi Martin,

    I noticed that the photograph is an oldie. The canopy has been replaced many years ago. The previous one looked like milk. 😀

    Depends on how fast you want them. If you are patient and look around here and there, some very nice items can be found at reasonable prices.

    If you want them yesterday, prepare to pay for them.

    Thanks Martin,

    I hadn’t noticed about the wheels. It is in fine shape though.

    Avro XIX and Moth at Old Warden (both BAe owned) Blackburn B2 at Brough. They arent old are they.

    I’ll agree they err on the side of caution, but in todays litigeous world they have to.

    BAe Brough also restored the mid fuselage section of Halifax HR792 for YAM at Elvington, and they built the rear fuselage and vertical stabilizers from drawings.

    Cheers

    Although this aircraft is listed as an ex-Israel airframe. But can anyone also confirm that the wings used on this aircraft originated from one of the two Mustangs held by the Dutch Technical University at Delft and acquired by Mr Lamplough in the late seventies/early eighties

    Yes it is… the culmination of alot of searching for parts etc. I just wish I had more parts for it like throttle box and control wheel….

    Something like this Peter?

    The control column has now been finished thanks to information supplied by 682AL regarding the horizontal tube. The bearings and endfittings are original and came from a UK crash.
