I did have an ap for the Fn 82 rear turret,there was a drawing in there for the turret P.I. mount.It was mounted on the right (port side) of the gunner next to the gyro control unit with a small light well away from the gunners sight to not interfere with his acquired `night vision` sadly don`t have the a.p. any more..it went with the turret.

11″ Stirling tailwheels….Come on !!!!!

Like your Radar pic RadarArchive…part of a ROTOR system isn`t it?.I used to play in the base of one of those as a kid,at RAF Langtoft.

Metropolitan vickers…?

Yes the nose section is Jeremy Halls and possibly the other Lanc section too.part of the stuff that was left over from that Telly Drama with Edward Woodward in it `Night Flight`?, Night Passage`? whatever.

I would Imagine you are right there Peter about them also being fitted in Lancastrians.I would imagine it was a large contract put out to the seat makers, ie Rumbolds, for a lightweight,foldable seat that could be simply bolted to any aircraft floor.I found one for The Stirling Project about 8 years ago at Shoreham,a rare item indeed ,this is only the second one I`ve seen.I seem to remember that particular Shoreham aerojumble was a bonanza for Stirling parts,got 2 flight engineers panels,sets of rudder pedals,part of the floor with bombclamp still attached ( ex flowers scrap),Stirling flaps panel and bomb aimers extending sight lamp.It`s a shame that event went,really missed the characters and banter more than anything !!

Ahh.. the non-white dog has been replaced by a cat! I wonder what it will be called………..:D

TIGGER of course !!

Well Deserved by the look of it!! Congrats
