God sake, these post are getting a bit painful and are watering down the quality of this forum are they not?????
The next question will no doubt be can anyone tell me which runway the Thomson flight from Manchester to Alicante will take off from on the 18th August 2012? and what will be the pilots name and how much frieght will it be carrying? Someone out there must know the answer surely? Come on it’s obvious!
Well the Viscount was a stab in the dark, who knows????
Brooklands museum in Surrey have a cockpit of a RAE Vickers Viscount, drop them a line or an e-mail and see what they think!
iit looks like its a black painted panel, but looking closely, its as if at some time its had a “dark grey” wash over it , but this has mostly come off, scratched to high heaven, and bent in the middle..
Right then, we just need the weight of the panel now and I think we just might be able to identify it…………………….
Tough one this, doesn’t seem to be a standard production panel of any type. Therefore could it be an adapted panel for the instruments to serve a particular customer or purpose. I’ve looked at it closely against the Vickers Viscount some similarities but not many.
I’ve had a chat with my friend at William Hill and he will accept an outsider bet on a RAE (Royal Aircraft Establishment) Vickers Viscount at 12-1
