A Heinkel crashed just off Salthouse and pieces of this are regularly washed up on the beach, particularly near where the pillbox is marooned.

I believe that the Navy blew part of the wreck up as it was an underwater hazard.

Hi all,

Thanks for your replies. I am talking aluminium. I want to remove the grime before I decide whether to preserve as is, or strip and repaint.

Cheers,

Just to add a public thanks to Mark for sending those really useful scans, and an apology for calling him Karl :confused:

Jason, please could you let me know the sellers details?

Cheers,

Hi Mark, thank you for highlighting those links. I had not been able to locate those or anything similar. I have sent you a PM in response to your extremely kind offer. I imagine those manuals are pretty rare.

Tony, thank you for your message. Will follow that up.

Cheers,

Or even further afield (US)? I also need placards.

Thanks Bruce, at least I know it’s aircraft related.

I have attached a photo of the markings? Am I correct in thinking Westland and Argosy? Although all Argosy’s I have seen have 4 bladed props?

Thank you for the information. At least I know the part existed!

I have not found any plans as yet, but have found a period photo with the panel laying on the floor under the wing whilst a ground crewman is working in the gun.

Now I am even more confused. It looks like every single panel has a number of hard to find or ridiculously expensive instruments in it!

What I am trying to do is build a nice panel around my flat topped blind flying panel – are there any other options out there?! I am not entirely sure which aircraft were fitted with the flat BFP rather than the curved top variant?

Cheers

I’d suggest sending a PM to Air Ministry on this forum.

Thanks Andy, will give it a go!

Hi FoxVC10, i was thinking Canberra although not sure which variant. I will check the part number again shortly.

The panel is the early war 6A/616 rectangle so would have been fitted with luminous instruments so not really worried about the marks etc.

Thanks

Thanks guys, thats great. The photo of Thunderbird provides a near perfect match although mine doesnt have a hollow end.

I thought that there must be thousands of these things around but am having trouble finding any for referrence.

Am convinced it is definately B17 now.

Thanks folks.
