….. so I had to take my hat of to the guy that put all the work in!!! When I spoke to him (without my notes I think his name was Barry Field) he also added that the measurements used for the tubes were ‘educated calculations’ based on the parts that they had recovered (not having access to the Duxford example to measure).
DaveR et al….
Yes, pretty sure the guy was Barry, as he made it for the museum but his end product was limited by the material they had for him to work with.
Thus inspired, he subsequently purchased my large cache of Tempest/Typhoon parts for an equally large sum of £, to build his own cockpit, which i assume he is still doing (?).
Of all the Hawker stuff i’ve dealt with, i found the Tiffie/Tempest the most difficult to acquire parts & info’ on, and hats off to Rocketeer with his Hurricane (thinx: wonder what tube he uses ? :confused: )
