Guppy to the Sky !
All those working on her I wish you all best of luck, just to see it fly one more time would be an achievement. I will contribute to the cause.

Would be interesting to see if his collection has gone there. Ken was always a keen attender at the Newark aerojumble.

Ken Ward appears to have dropped off the radar since finding himself in hot water. He was always a regular at the aerojumbles, has anyone seen him recently? As stated above the last I publically heard was that he was going to partner up with Bomphoons to create a museum to properly display his unique collection, not sure if this ever materialised or not. He also did have a number of cockpits dotted around the country including a Victor and Vulcan not to mention a few others.

Nice control wheel Hatinthering, is that an original cap you have on the wheel? If so could you provide a photo of the underside of the cap? I am interested to see if there is any difference between original caps and copies. Personally I would keep the switch blocks black, I agree that the presentation of the wheel does look more attractive with shiny polished brass blocks and a lot of Constellation wheels with fair usage did wear down the paint work on their switch blocks to expose the brass, but for me originality overrides everything (just an opinion). What is the long number on the back of your wheel? I am curious to see if the Constellations and the Neptunes had different serial numbers.

Thanks for the possible I’d Rocketeer. Yep Ian there’s no finesse with Russian stuff, they just do exactly what it says on the tin.

For those with a B47 control yoke have you seen the hub cap on eBay as a buy it now?! I believe that these are rarer than the yoke itself !
