    Thank you all for the help.:D:D:D:D

    I pretty much need to know what should go where inside the cockpit and how did it look like because I have to rebuild the interior from nothing in such a way that it resembles the cockpit as close as humanly possible.

    I know I would not be able to replicate everything, but I will try my best.

    So far the museum managed to get me two ejection seats. The one has been used (ejected 🙁 ) so it is of not much use. The other seat is all ripped apart.

    Elmarie (my wife) said she is more than willing to share her photos. I will send them to you in a smaller format first so you can pic out want you want and then send those chosen in their original format. She said that she only wants recognition/credit for her photos used and if possible a signed copy of the book when finished.

    Here are some more thumbnails of her photos:

    [QUOTE=Pure Lightning;1333369]A very interesting Canberra you have there………do you know any of its history or its serial number?
    QUOTE]

    As I could find out her number was 457 and delvivered in 1963 and the south African Airforce took delivery on 25 February 1964. In the early 1980’s the nose of an ex Rhodesian Canberra B.2 was fitted to the aircraft and therefore essentially reverting her back to Canberra B.2. So this is actually the original nose section of 457. 457 is now on static display at the Swartkops museum.

    Thanks for all the info it will help a lot.

    PS the fitting on the door for the hinge pin is also missing.

    Here are more photos of the Impala Sim and a more recent photo of the Canberra cockpit (taken 10/12/2008)

    As you can see the door is held open by a metal rod – I would like to know how the rod that is supposed to hold the door open looked like and how do one open and close the door from the inside as there is no handle in the inside of this door.:confused:

    My wife took some nice pictures of the lightnings at thunder city during their displays at AAD 2006, AAD 2008 and the airshow at Overberg AFB 2007. Will those photos help – she is willing to send them to you.

    Here are one of her photos taken during the recent Airshow at Ysterlplaat – AAD 2008:
