    Thanks,that explains a lot!Maritime interior being totally different from AEW!!By the way Richw_82 do you have Autolycus equipment!!!

    Is this shack the only real maritime version MK2 around?The coventry one is a revamped AEW as is the one at St Mawgan .It really should be in the “cold war museum”.

    Now this ex mil yard is near me in Thailand.It is mainly ex American aircraft parts which will not be of much use to those wanting bits for WW2 aircraft!Most of the parts are from Cessna “bird dogs”and huey helos plus a load of bits from Fairchild Providers(lots of P&W pots).If however someone would like a inst panel or any other item I am willing to do a search for you

    I have just read a book called”Lost in Shangri-La “which was about a C-47 that crashed in a remote valley in Papua New Guinea in 1945,three passengers survived and the book was the story of getting them out.In the end they were “Snatched in a WACO glider by a C-47 and just made it over a mountain ridge !So seeing the same “snatch technique in that film made me appreciate what was achieved back then!A good story.

    “963” was a AEW and returned to Maritime config was it not?In which case I take it that there will be no extendable radome”dustbin)and associated equipment or AEW radar equipment.So how much weight will be saved because of this?I was an elect mech when I worked and flew in them!!
