Lovely to have an FE2B prop well done, decals sound lovely too. Not sure what else you need to know? It has aircraft type (FE2B), engine type (Beardmore 80HP), AID is the inspectorate directorate no. Boulton Paul was a joiners that went on to make aircraft too….welcome too!
That is an absolute tragedy. Condolences to his family.
We visited Howard’s warbirds in 2008. Also loved seeing this fury in action at Reno.
Looks fine to me. Just kept nose down to finish with a low pass
To coin a phrase Ju….’don’t tell him pike!!!’
It is high time we started digging that place again…count me in!! PM sent Ju
it looks pretty good in the poly tunnel tho Ju. Lots to id and it looks like a Do17!
All in good time Peter!
Sounds brilliant AP!
Thanx for that clarification F4MPhixer
Well, they could ‘fire’ Guns (GN), Sidewinders (SW), Skyflash and Sparrow (SP)…so maybe Skyflash is SS? Or maybe a simulation pod/weapon
F4Js were the only UK Tooms to use the HOTAS stick
looks very Lancy!
I would love a Sea King cockpit!!!! I have many hours in them
It uses a later internal screen so from that point is a later Mk5 Stu
The link takes you to the Mk5 which is made from original items/new to drawing and is 100% stock 1941. It goes from Frame 5 (firewall) to Frame 13 (2 behind the seat).
To make it more representative of a Mk1, it would need the spade grip changing, the seat installation completed, a rectangular mirror fitted. The screen is an internal so is not quite stock Mk1 (doubt most would notice). It also has the u/c control fitted to approx half BoB aircraft.
The Mk1 is as early as you can get, I attached a pic of it on the thread, you could jury rig a seat (but it has nothing aft of the cockpit door at the moment).
Not wishing to blow my trumpet, but I might be able to give your BoB expert a run for his/her money!
send me an email as we are likely to bore those that dont like Spits!
Moggy is quite correct, a Hardest Day without the Hurricane is just plain wrong! Look on the site linked above, or Google Hurricane P3554 and images will find out the Hurricane.
Hope this makes sense (just back today from 2 days in USA so brain’s dodgier than usual)
I have one of those too Moggy!!!
Hi Rob
This takes you to my Mk5.

I also have a Mk1, which is a slice thru that enables easy access to all.
