Are there really no more Hurricane Cockpit enthusiasts except Rocketeer?

Interesting, I know about 30 Spitfire instrument panel builder all around the world but Hurricane seems not to be that interesting for the collectors.

Looks very strange with the tail wheel 😮 . Maybe it was the only jet aircraft with tail wheel?

to me that actually looks like an Emil or similar..

Alex

It is a Franz but there also should be a lot more of holes and instruments/switches around. Who would fill the necessary holes during a restauration? Also the shape of the panels doesn´t look exactly like the original one. Beside the moderate instrumentation is faulty. There should be at least the Fl 23334 Fuehrertochterkompass at the place of the FK38 Kompass, like the Emil had.
Here´s a nice picture showing he manufacture of F panels. Interestingly the Fuehrertochterkompass had been censored 😀

I will create a similar looking thing for CockpitFest 2007ish! But I will try and do an Emil….still nice object, just not worth it IMHO

If you need any help regarding the original panel/instruments just send me a mail. 🙂

Well, I can tell from the pictures that the instrument panel is a repro, and the sidewalls seem to be too. The gunsight, control grip and some of the instruments seem to be original….you can get that stuff for about EUR 2500,-that´s it 🙁

Horst Rienecker, the former owner from Aeroart is still having a lot of parts.
Just contact him.

Ah, another interesting panel, quite similar to the TE184 but thís time with no boost coil switch, so it should be a Griffon driven one. Interestingly the cockpit interior here is painted black. The avionics is necessary for the ourdays IFR so I won´t argue about the loss of originality. The other instruments are quite in the place where they were during wartime. Only stange is the loss of the antivibration blind flying panel.
By the way I´m still looking for an original nose up/down indicator and a flap valve 😀 …..All right, it was just a try.
Thanks for your postings,
Herbert

Great! Thanks, that one I didn´t have yet.
That´s an interesting panel. They even economised the blind flying panel.
With these panels of postwar restored Spits everything seems to be possible. 😮

The book “Cockpit Profile #6” shows, that Hs 123 also used the FK 5, Hs 126 the Führertochterkompass but maybe there were also versions using the FK 5. Hard to say by one picture.

That is good, could it have been used in other aircraft? I have thought that an He111 would not have been harrassing troops but an He51 or something similar might have? What aircraft were undertaking ground attack missions at this point in the war and did they have the FK 5 ?

Apparently the aeroplane had been annoying troops before so which units were flying what in the Dunkirk area?

Hello Melvyn
You could be right! I don´t have a cockpit layout of the He 51 at the moment but the He 46, a reconnaissance plane at the beginning of the war also used the FK 5!

Is this Heinkel 111?

Hello friends
I just saw that thread. The FK 5 was used in early Bf 109 and Ju 87.
All He 111s had the Führertochterkompass Fl 23338.

6A/1336

This is the Mk II 6A/1336.
Well, I hope to find one at an aero market someday.
But I know as guy, who makes 1:1 replicas of the other two versions including engraving, if you´d only have to fill the hole.

Scrapping off the SAAF Spitfire fleet.

A bit before my time. 😉

Perhaps worthy of a caption competition?
