Be carefull what you wish for Howard, just imagine what would happen if 30 pluss pimped cockpits turned up!!
It’s too late to warn him, planning has started.
Didn’t see any P-47s there
Didn’t see any P-47s there
It’s quite clearly a different HS125 cockpit Bunsen!
The linked one is still available.
Should have gone to specsavers.

I’ve not commented on this gentleman’s pricing strategy, others have, at length. I’m going to now though.
Most of the preservation movement is comprised of doddery old gits, and I include myself in that category so I’m allowed to say it. We need younger people to come into the movement if it is to survive. Many active preservationists start as collectors but how the hell can they at these prices? They’ll take one look and go back to their play stations or nintendos or whatever. The same items can be found much more cheaply at aerojumbles but the potential new people will never know because this will put them off attending.
What happened to the Wallace remains disposed of when Cardington closed down?
I don’t think they were used for the example now at Hendon.
I’m with TonyT.
If it isn’t done in such a way as to glorify in it then I have no problem with viewing these items.
It does have a Javelin look about it, how about one of the less pointy prototype radomes?
The thing that concerns me is that Jet Art price things to sell overseas, does this mean the Swift is going to need an export licence too?
Don’t believe it, there’s no sign of Alec Guiness or Jack Hawkins
It is indeed Gokone’s Hunter nose. It’s currently residing at King’s Lynn helping raising awareness for the ‘the Bridge for Heroes charity’.
So give generously
Alternatively, it could be the nose cone from the RAE DC3 Mayfly. The nose cone was sold a long while back when Booker Aircraft MUseum had a sell off
I have read all the items under this post and all I can say is that you cannot convert a B2 or K2 back to a B1
If you want accurate data why not have a look at the Handley Page book by Roger Brooks from Pen and Sword as this has the facts not fiction in it The Nmk 2 wing is much deeper at the rear and its span ias 120ft and the B1 is 110ft The K2 is 117 ft with 18inches removed from each wing tip. If you wish to check on facts please send me a private message.Manxman
Disagree. It is possible to convert a B2 or K2 back to a B1, a lot of modellers have already done it. As far as I’m aware the wing section never changed, perhaps Trenchardbrat is confusing the engine bays with the wings. When the B1 wing was changed for the B2 they added an insert at the root and a fence at the point where the insert joined to original wing. I think the insert was about a foot but I don’t have a reliable reference source with me at the moment, not all published information is correct. There was a further extension at the wing tip to make the overall difference up to ten feet
Sorry Firebex the correct story on 232 disaster and a record of all Victors moving to Woodford is in Roger Brooks Book on the Victor Published by Pen and Sword and a listing of all the flights involved with the Testing of the Victor K2
A Great Book

I thought advertising was banned on the forum? Should Trenchard Brat be so blatantly advertising his own book?
