Martin,

Same one as the ones you are looking for. see the pic on page two of this thread.

Peter,

That’s where a handheld fireextinghuisher is fitted but I am still on the lookout for one. I can use one from the Stirling investigation but that would be on loan basis only. As this cockpit project is mine (and has nothing to do with the museum) and also fully paid for by me I wish to only use my own parts. I had such a bottle off ebay last year but the vendor had sold it before the auction ended (which I had won).

Thanks Martin, tips like these are really helpful.

Yes Martin,

Sorted, thanks again.

Another example that shows how an owner of a historic aircraft wishes to clear up things and look what happens….:(

Some people can never do any good, what’s the use of endless debate whether a certain party have done everything according to the rules. The reason aircraft like these have survived is no because the Indians have taken good care of it, rather the opposite. Has more to do with luck and a huge country.

A good read about dealings like this is the book Peter Vacher wrote, then some opinions might be changed.

Good show by the owners of this unique 109 and Andy Sauders to clarify the issues. Regardless what others might think of it.

Cheers

Small update (bit delayed)

Last wednesday Lex and I spent a whole day fitting a fairing about 60 cm in length by 6 cm in width beneath the windscreen. But oh boy it looks fantastic. Progress is not so obvious as the last few months but she is now fully skinned and work is progressing on the canopy framing.
Any tips how to form perspex for the “brow” panels?

Cheers
Cees

No, I have a natural ability for that.

This is the rudder trimunit (ignore the aileron bit, these will be swapped soon). I had the knob and a drawing, and (yes, I make things as well) had made the channel sections and the stiffener. Bram Kemp said he would see what he could do with them. The result a week later is a fully functioning trim unit alsmost indistinguishable from an original (thanks to those drawings).
I’m a happy bunny.:p
