Hi All,

Some pictures of the trial fit of the restored centre console.

Just needs fitting of one placard, fabrication of one new rpm knob, painting of fixing heads and new build of a trim drum/handle.

With the exceptions of compass, BA screw fixings and two knobs everything else is original.

Main panel and zigsaw of cockpit main frame are on the bench awaiting work.

Regards
Ross

Crikey Ross that was quick work, you’ve only had it… what… 4 weeks 😮

Nice one……. 😀

WB556 was sold on E-Bay earlier this month.

Cheers……..

C/N of WB555 is C1/0006.

Incorrect. WB555 is C1-0007. Build number DHHf.7 (Hatfield built)* I won’t bore you with the details of Chipmunk production but they dont always follow in numerical order. I’m sure Bruce will give us his thoughts.

Presumably Wrecks and Relics would have a note of this one?:

In this case, no. Contrary to popular belief, W&R is not the be & end all. Many entries are merely carried forward from previous editions and only amended if new details come to light. Many private owners wish to remain private.

I can recommend http://www.demobbed.org.uk/ for a more current online resource.

Ah i see, you mean thats not a Canberra serial.

Oh well, when its time for a repaint, gis’ a shout. Although Corgi will be releasing a metal B(I)8 soon 😀

.

…..so if you have a cockpit of a Hunter, please be part of this line up. We particularly need an F4 and an F5. The latter I used to own!!

Tony,

Surely you mean the former ? (i.e. the red F.4)

Cheers…….
