Well, I doubt, that it is from a JU 388 because of two reasons:
The Ju 88 had a later pilot seat, which also covered the pilot´s head with it´s shape. That one I found looking like Mark´s was an “early” Ju 88 seat.
I guess, Ju 388 came later and so they didn´t use the early seat anymore. Also the small part of a Ju 388 seat I can see on some pictures won´t fit.

But who know´s? That´s after all only speculation. :confused:
All the best,
Herbert

Ju 88 seat

Hello Mark
When I take a look at that picture of the Ju 88 R-1 in Hendon then I would think we´ve got it. 🙂
See also the Ju 88 exibition in Gardermoen, you will find your seat at the most left picture. 😀

Wow, that´s great!
I think I´ll manage to get to Shoreham on the 19th of march.
I´ll start a thread before, getting the faces to the names so we might meet each other arguing about who gets the nice parts 😉

I just took a look at the book but there is almost no picture showing the whole seat. So we´ll see.

Well, Peter Cohausz himself is a member of the Luftwaffe Forum. He is often giving geat infos, so could work this time, too.

Hello Kenneth
The early Spit BFP (blindflying panels) were the rectangular Mk I 6A/616.
Later they were cut, so they´ve got the radius on the top “to facilitate installation when the panel is fitted closely to the contour of the cockpit”
(Taken from A.P.1275A Vol. I 1948). They were now called Mk IA 6A/760.
Later there was also the radiused Mk II 6A/1336 made of brass and swaged vertically and horizontally to increase rigidity. 😀

What a strange discription but it might mean that with that radiused shape it was easier to mount/dismount. :confused:

Herbert

Hello Mark

A posting in the Luftarchiv Forum
might be a good idea.
Should I post it for you?

All the best,
Herbert

Quite strange. :confused:
The leather parts look like Luftwaffe, the microphones and plug are defenitely not. 58 would possibly mean 58cm.
The Russians, Finns and Italiens copied the Luftwaffe stile and used also throat microphones but could be from another country as well.

O.K. I give you five pounds for the Spit spade grip. 😀
Nowadays the prices look more like this example:

Aerodjumbles

It´s strange, that when you visit the aerodjumble of Speyer (near Frankfurt) you could put together your Bf 109 instrument panel in one day (you only have to come one day earlier for the rarer items).
I wonder why especially the british warbird items are getting that rare. I´d like to come to Shoreham but I heard about very few wartime parts, so that eBay might be the better place. It´s a pity. 🙁

As I remember right, the Hawker Typhoon and Tempest both had four wing mounted 20mm guns.

Spitfire stuff

Hello Al, hello Cees!
Nice to hear about you again!
You´re right, I know a lot about
“Oh-so-scarce-and-extremely-expensive-if-you-wish-to-buy-one” U/C indicators,
further the
“Oh-so-scarce-and-extremely-expensive-if-you-might-ever-find-one” flap valves
and the
“Oh-so-scarce-and-extremely-expensive-but-you-will-never-get-one” trim indicators
and finally the
“Oh-so-scarce-and-extremely-expensive-you-will-never-get-mine” spade grips
They make the collector´s life quite tough! 😀
Thanks to all for your help!
Cheers,
Herbert

Strange painting, isn´t it? The elevator and aileron painted bluegrey on the upper side? :confused:
