How about ‘The English Patient’, just checked on the DVD, Moth G-AFFC, or is this a spurious registration.

Yes, it was assembled from unairworthy parts at Booker then shipped to the filming location.

hummm… i think you’ve opened the floodgates TT 😀

I always fancied owning/making an Yokosuka Ohka and/or a Bachem Natter.

And the other wish would be a Salamander or nose section of.

As DC has 3 items, my number 3 would be the Hillson Bi-Mono :diablo:

It`s an Artouste, minus its generator. APU for the Victor, Trident, VC10, Belfast, Canadair CL44. I would say £500 was about right, but I wouldn`t value it at much more.

Shock 😮 Is that Peter G’ from Carlisle ? (Breather of life into otherwise static Merlins).

Either way, thanks for the ID on that engine. 😀

Cheers….

Don’t suppose anyone knows of a Canberra instrument panel going, I figure that if i start small the rest of the cockpit will follow 🙂

Cliff

Good idea, but are you aware that for the price of a good panel, you could buy a Chipmunk cockpit or perhaps this Canberra T.17 project….! 😮

Another Sea Harrier has been recently put on display at Farnborough.

Please follow this link to view what I posted on another forum…

No need, discussed here also.

Sure I saw an empty looking sea harrier on the back of a truck heading towards the M1 on the A46 near Leicester on Tuesday evening!

Rich,

You quite probably did. And with the last ever landing of a SHAR at Yeovilton on Tuesday, you’ll probably spot a few more yet.

If you do, try and cast your eyes over the serial number/s. 😀

Once you start on your panel(s), you should add them to the instrument panel thread.

Here is the link to the thread Cliff……. 😉

MY biggest concern at the moment is mounting my cockpit to its trailer. The cockpit is pretty **** heavy and I wonder how others have coped ?

Also, while I’ve a god mounting point at the front (nosewheel pivot point) there’s nothing of substance at the rear – bolting through the skin seems inadequate.

Comments please?

Roy.

Roy,

I wouldn’t attempt to bolt it down at the back.

Just have it sit in a curved cradle to prevent side to side movement, and the nose attachment should do the rest. Just let gravity do the work.

Believe it or not, the Shack’ T.4 cockpit VP293 is hardly bolted down at all, its weight does most of the work. 😮

And there was me thinking Airfix had missed a trick. Most of the ‘what if’ schemes I’ve seen aren’t nearly ludicrous enough though. What about a Red Arrows scheme? A BOAC scheme?? A celebratory World-air-speed-record-winning scheme???

How about one in stripes hanging from the Trocadero Center ceiling ?

Dave T

It’s a crying shame the whole Boston project has passed into new ownership, in that the new owner is only interested in a forward fuselage display/restoration.

As the other parts are also sold off piece by piece, i think it’ll need a miracle now to see a Boston in a UK museum. 😮
