Managed to ‘trade’ some of the blind flying panel intstruments for my equally aged cloth bomber back in ’82/3 when I was groundcrew on F Troop, they are still in use! Trent Aero at Castle Donington had given us a bubble canopy as part of a minor refurb of the airframe, BBMF were continually robbing parts from it during my tenure on F Troop ’82/85.

A DH 5220P brought out of storage recently and put back into service after refurb by Hercules Propellers.[ATTACH=CONFIG]260109[/ATTACH]
