    Thanks for the suggestion chaps.

    Here’s a further update as of yesterday. Air Ministry’s terminal blocks were also fitted
    yesterday and the panels awaits painting but is already in primer.
    The main instrument panel is trial fitted now that the top horizontal longerons are fitted
    as well as the top arch of frame five. Next week the tubular canopy arch will be fitted and
    the windscreen hopefully, this will be the start of the canopy construction.
    The black levers were delivered to me and are new built. These will be fitted in the rectangular
    opening of the pilot’s bulkhead. Lot’s of progress although it doesn’t always show.

    Thanks chaps,

    Well, it cetainly looks as if a lot of progress has been made since we moved to the new location in the building in November, but a lot of the parts were already made and just waited to be fitted. And then RVP (rapid visual progress) is swift when large parts such as the frames and instrument panel are fitted. Lex starts very early as well (at around 07:00 and I will be present a 08:00, I am from the patatgeneration). Apart from wednesdays, we now work on saturdays too when work in the museum allows and that adds to the state of progress as well. Apart from the work in the workshop leads on parts are still being chased. About those elves, I wish I had some:D
    Cheers

    Getting ahead of schedule.
    The elves have been hard at work again. :p

    Today the canopy arch was fitted, this is the main supporting
    structure of the canopy and forms the basis for the entire
    canopy construction and between this and the main pilot’s
    bulkhead the escape hatch is fitted in between.

    Also the fuel control levers (see earlier pic)
    were fitted and work like a charm. Now, I need to get some
    pushpull rods to connection them to, time to contact
    Blocktube Marine, Mike do you have a contact person there
    after your recent experiences with them for Bluebird?
    Pics to follow later this week.

    I can think of a nice length of Typhoon fuselage in Holland that would look terrific with that cockpit !

    Or the many stalled Tempest II projects scattered around the UK that are gathering dust.

    Here are the pics as promised.The canopy arch has
    now been fitted as you can see. An original handgrip
    can be seen. It came from LW343 which crashed near
    Anna Paulowna and was recovered by us during 2000.

    So replica instrument faces could be the new thing to have?

    Bruce,

    What happened to the two BMW801’s in excellent condition that I spotted in a hangar at North Weald in 1997? They came from Russia I was told at the time.
