Possibly, but fragment damage from a strafing run on a German steam locomotive sounds so much better!
Great pics, nice to see the Twin Pioneer cockpit out and about, looks a bit different from the fighter/bomber noses.
Very good. Re the U/C sel, I’m thinking the initials TD!?
I thought it would be something interesting!
Any good recognisable Vixen stuff there?
Have to agree with that AA, rather the thought of someone really enthusiastic and dedicated working on the project, even if of comparitively limited means.
Didn’t someone involved with the Q6 post here, or is that my imagination?
No, or else we would all be doing it.
Beautiful aircraft, let’s hope that one day it will be completed and maybe flying.

I was always fascinated by the little window in the top of the rear gear bay which allows a view of the undercarriage from inside the Shack, talk about visual indication!
Excellent shots there Rich, I always wondered how a resparring was actually achieved, striking me as akin to jacking up an aeroplane, removing its backbone, and sliding another one in! The centre section spar members must have been a real pig to do.
Not all of us cockpiteers can make it this weekend unfortunately, so will be tinkering with whole aircraft, ones with two piston engines and built by Percival!
The Hawker Siddeley 125 G-AVPE was the runabout for British Aircraft Corporations’ executives, Beagle 206 Srs 2 G-AVHO briefly similarly used by the Vickers part of BAC at Wisley. I think it later belonged to our illustrious hosts, Flypast Magazine?
Their only apparent mistake was making it public for others to see and criticise! 😉
Yep, the last thread on engine running went the same way (worse actually!), I can see why people get reluctant about discussing projects etc on a forum.
MerlinPete, trying to send you a PM, but your box is full.
If that’s dated 1941, it’s the very earliest form of a Translite/Plastek panel that I’ve ever heard of!
Excellent pics Bruggen, be great to see a Hawk painted up in stripes and camo to represent the 20 year ‘Tatty Ton’ period when 100 sqn operated the Canberra TT.18!
