Brilliant stuff!

That is absolutely brilliant!!!

nice stuff!

cheers Anna…..mine is a 250, just got a 1100D

That is indeed very true….I can remember being told that I should not have wasted money saving my old Pucara cockpit and should have given the money to a flying project/collection instead!!

The adage being, as always, if its your money, spend it on whatever you like!!

Doing a rare type would be good.

Regarding the Mk1, having a budget is a very good idea! Last year, at CockpitFest, I hatched a dumb idea to create a Spitfire Mk1 cockpit slice thru….I had over 3/4 of the internals already and sold a Hunter cockpit (complete) to fund the difference – ouch is all I can say……. lots of time and money.
Happy to help with what I can tho’. Some parts you will likely have to buy in….such as the perspex for the screen/canopy and castings

Prayers, thoughts and best wishes with you Tim need to have that beer when you are back on the mend
