Unless Roger has done a lot of work in the last two years replacing his “typhoon pilots signed” new build rear fuselage with the sea fury one I saw at the same time sitting along side it, I doubt he has.
As for typhoon/tempest cockpit structure, there are unique parts to each, but a lot in common too.

so there are two projects to build more typhoons?…….because if i recall one project has received a genuine rear fuselage.

It would make a lot of sense to merge both typhoon projects into one. You would need deep pockets though.

Was the Sea Fury rear fuselage in question the one that brought back from Malta to the UK many years back? If not used in this project anyone know what happened it?

Tim

Hi tim,
Yes it is the same sea fury rear fuselage as recoveted from Malta.
I saw it a couple of years ago. In itself, it would make a nice project.

Yes, this is Rogers typhoon. It’s a hefty price tag, but there aren’t any other typhoons around as complete outside of the RAFM example.

Well done to all involved.

Possibly DC, the only reasons I didn’t attend this year was because of a lack of any progress from the previous years – for reasons specified!
Also I have to admit to being impressed with your Meteor III cockpit mock up, as it gave me some ideas. Any progress that you can report on it?

Rob

Hi Rob,

I passed the Meteor onto a fellow forum member. He was able to take it further than I, and accordingly I have more time for Hornet stuff.

Thanks for your kind comments.

Just in case people think work on the Whitley has stopped, here is some centre section progress…

Great progress Elliot.

I wonder if folk realise how significant this progress update is? Its the first time since the 40’s that a Whitley centre section has been put together.

For airshow displays the three things that impress with the Vulcan are the size, the noise, and its agility.

To find something else to equal that would be limited to a few types.

A very similar aircraft is the Handley Page Victor. For the two that survive in taxiable condition, are either restorable to flight? Or are there limitations due to airframe hours or spares availability?
