    Vulcan panel

    Has anyone done a Vulcan pilots panel ?

    Either original or made one, or perhaps has one as a current project ?

    I’ve just found a drawing Colin (Vulcan) Mears let me have, but i’ve a few questions that need answering before i cut metal.

    Cheers…….

    A few from Cottesmore a few years ago. First is XW924, haven’t got a clue about the subject of the rest, though someone at the time said that they thought the airframe was ex USMC!!

    What a timely post… thank you very much.

    Why ? Because that fuselage is AV-8B 162068 which has just come up for disposal and will be moving to Cronifer Metals very soon.

    Cheers……. 😀

    Dear DJ Jay,

    No need to be sorry! – on the contrary, I was pleased that your question
    implied that the canopy only looked slightly odd as compared to being a complete disaster! After spending hours last summer with bits of strip steel
    from B&* and acrylic sheet – guess what? someone had a canopy for sale……(sigh).

    The front canopy does not have any plexiglass (transparency) as apparently
    the original was detonated (test or the real thing I wonder?).
    Although I could probably fit acrylic as I did for the home-made one,
    does anybody have experience of getting perspex (or acrylic) molded?

    regards,

    Ian.

    UPDATE: Posted on Ians (IWS) behalf, two pics of his newly acquired & fitted original T2/4 canopy frames.

    The rear is fitted with original perspex, but the front has a temporary acrylic version.

    Anyone know where an original front T2/4/8 perspex can be sourced, we’d like to hear from you please.

    😀

    Ok, everyone at 12.30 outside the front marquee entrance then (not the rear flap tradesmans exit !) ?

    Or failing that, Rocketeers bric-a-brac stall throughout the day (only joking TD) !!

    Nice to see that the Buccaneer avoided the scrapmans axe and is going to a good home. One question – are my eyes playing tricks or is that the nose of a Sea Harrier poking out from behind the crane ? I know one went ‘Devon way’ some time back but without a final destination.

    Do you want a Harrier then ?

    Is the marquee the best place to meet then ? In or out ?

    And whats the best time of day…. after the initial bargain hunting ?

    Ah yes, the ‘prototype’ FRS2. Thought that chess board looked famliar.

    It was in store in the Cobham hall at Yeovilton ?

    Enroute to somewhere. Perhaps FAAM have been allocated (purchased ?) a better example ?

    Anyone know more ? :confused:
