We’ve been very busy of late having to pack up the Project in advance of a move to a new location. We finally accomplished the first stage of this move at the weekend, by moving into temporary accomodation next door to our intended new workshop. The final part of the move should take place in early July when the tenants of the other building move out. The pics below show the amount of stuff that the project has accumulated over the years, it looks like chaos at the moment (and it probably is) but we’ll be going through the items to get a semblance of order and everything will then have it’s place; more so now that we will have more room to spread out.

Now he tells me :D:eek:

Only reason I knew they were used is from the mod leaflet that introduces them

Hi James

To paraphrase a line from Len Deightons ‘Bomber’, you can see clearer through an open window. Being so high up I’m fairly sure that the pilot would weave from side to side a bit during the taxi phase, having the window open in the front quarter would allow him to see a bit clearer the way ahead especially with the P2/FE on lookout too.

IIRC there are some small porthole type windows in the footwell so that you can have a view downwards to a certain extent

LOL

No problem James

DV = Direct Vision

We’ve got the opposite hand as well which is in better condition. I believe that Peter has that and has measured it up, so you’d get better results by emailing him. I’ll take some more photos and send them to you after the weekend if that’s ok:)

Still beavering away but with not much progress to report unfortunately 😮

However, we recently had this support frame for the 2nd pilots DV window donated to us. No history I’m afraid but we can recover some of the parts for incorporation into our cockpit.

The second photo shows where it fits albeit on a Mk IV/V
