Thanks Tony,

Here’s a pic of the black box with sticks protruding from it, in case you missed it.:D

Ahh PN323,

An old friend, last time I walked through it was on january 1st this year.
A magnificent idea that people can walk through a cockpitsection like that
and see what it was like inside a bomber.
Naughty mode on:
Would be nice to fit this cockpitsection onto HR792,
YAM requested IWM but they declined even under the promise
that if YAM would go bankrupt the whole aircraft would be gifted
to IWM
Naughty mode off:D

Cheers

They look like the lower horizontal stiffeners in the Spitfire fuselage between frames 11 and 5

When Frank Gallions P47 was recovered from the IJsselmeer during 1995 it was a rushed job and as soon as the then complete airframe emerged abover the water lever it started to break up, this was broadcasted on the evening news and it made me sick to watch it.

During the recovery of Lancaster DV286 in 2003, we were aboard the same vessel that had recovered that p47 and in the canteen there was a videotape showing the recovery. When there were some moments to spare we watched the whole recovery again with the same results to our stomachs.

:eek:, you’ve found the throttle box you’ve been after for years and years and years and years and years etc, etc?

Looking good, my friend!

Tony,

Dear, dear, dear Tony, don’t you ever look in the other threads other
than Lancaster? In the cockpit section thread all is revealed.:D

Sorry for the delay Stuart:o

Hi Martin,

I am in the fortunate position that there is one item left but that”s being made in the UK as we speak which is the fuel selecter handles which are to be fitted in the top of frame 7 (see the square hole of frame 7 in the background), although the flight engineers seat that recentley turned up in Sweden (and of which Papa Lima provided those great photographs) would really complete the fitting out of the finished cockpit (but I do have a drawing).

Cheers

According to the Whirlwind AP only the rearfuselage skinning was made of magnesium alloy. Not the whole airframe. The rudder pedals were the same as on the Lysander. So find yourself some Lysander rudder pedals and we have a flyer;)

Does anyone know it’s history, how it was saved (or forgotten to scrap it) etc.?
AFAIK this aircraft also took part in one of the Tirpitz raids.

Hi Peter,

Thanks for thinking of me:p

She looks good doesn’t she? Now all that hall need is a Lancaster next
to it so visitors can see the two most important bombers the RCAF went to war with (no not forgetting the Wellington and others, but where so you find one these days).

Blimey! That seat looks to be in great condtion.
In front of the seat is the undercarriage and
bombdoor console. On the left and beneath
(brownish colour here) of it is a
strangely shaped item which I have seen on
several photo’s but so far have been unable
to identify, could it be a glycol reservoir for
the glycol pump that is normally fitted close
by?

Anyone?

Hendon has W1048 on display which already has a
seat, what’s the use of this item in storage while
perhaps another museum could provide a good home
for it (not me, I have a seat:)).
Cheers

Do any members have any idea what it could be from? Is it from an aircraft, or is it something like an officer chair with a harness added?

Johnnie

DC3 or B24? Both have wireless seats which look like office furniture

For those of you who are collecting for a Lancaster, Halifax, Beaufighter instrument panel (it’s more for the latter but can be adapted)
