The panel is from W3333 “Hendon Pegasus”.
I know ‘cos I found it and it used to hang on my study wall. :p
Two owners before you…one careful, one not-so.
youre a bally hero! I acquired it years ago (I thought from DC)
A couple of my bits…..the rear canopy part from 1190 and half a spitfire panel (I think it was from a WAG dig…any ideas please Andy?!)
forgive me…..i will hang my head in shame.
Back to the original thread (amazing I know!)….
It is highly likely that Dornier sub contracted/split up sub assemblies production too and built some items in certain factories (i.e. port wing here, starboard wing there) and brought them to a final place for assembly.
I have a few 50MU items
XX830 was at ETPS when I did the course! This time, 20 years ago, I was doing work up flying in the JP and Hawk prior to starting the course in January. I did my cockpit assessments in 830.
Back to thread, some stuff is on my website. We hope to expand it with more photos soon
The museum owns several aircraft itself (it is a not for profit company), a few are loaners. 6-7 cockpits are private owned but considered museum exhibits, 13+ owned by the museum (which also owns about 10T of relics/exhibits that are flight test related). For a few of years it was allowed to host visits. The museum is unique (as is BD) as it covers purely BD and flight test history for the 3 x services.
pm sent old chap!
Would that be traceable Andy?
Bill used to come to my parents house in the 80s in his old black taxicab…he would have a impeccably clean shirt with only one button left on it, a piece of orange baling twine started and stopped the taxi engine! Big smile…big heart. His garden was a mecca.
Julian, you have certainly had some good 50MU stuff over the years! If only we could id that DB engine badge!!
When did Bill Hamblin pass away? I hadn`t heard about it.
Pete
about 3-4 years ago…sadly missed.
welcome old chap…should be an AH2184 (on the hub)
The nicest ones Julian are lazer cut by Downland….I can get you contact if you pm me. They are also good value!
i will check Tony. It may well be a ‘closed loop’ hydraulic system’ as your chap refers to, in which case gravity would provide little help as he says!
I will see if the pump design is double cylinder…this would make both the forward and aft movements ‘pressure’ movements hence suggesting both add
Cheers for that. I think it is Ju88 all things considered. Those tides are fearsome! I remember beach combing in the 80s with my grandfather, finding washed up shark teeth from the Red Crag…
cheers
Tony
Cheers Peter
fantastic help
Tony
