[ATTACH=CONFIG]229051[/ATTACH] nice finds Elliot,the Whitley one looks a similar set-up to the Stirling….was it also operated remotely..?as it has the cable drive attached.
It was an interesting programme…is it true that Easy Elsie is the ONLY 617 aircraft left from the Tirpitz raid???? What about the two that crashed in Russia…one was Ian Ross…and I’m sure there was another in Russian hands…I was told by someone that was recovering aircraft from Russia that they still existed…any truth in this.
How big is it please?
Yes probably some in North Yorkshire!!!! What about mailing Whitley Project as he was in charge of selling Bernie’s Collection off…he may know who the spare rudder pedals went to???
No cushion..it was empty inside…think I sold it at North Weald aero jumble…..1990?
Lovely work Windhover……
Good score on the ex-Whirlwind seat! Always enjoy hearing about the rescue of a vintage relic like that.
Here’s a different (and somewhat newer) M-B bang seat, a prized “exhibit” in my loft since I moved here in 1995 (seat acquired in 1987)…this was the first officer’s seat in HP Victor K.2 XL191 that crash-landed at Mt.Hope in June 1986.

[ATTACH=CONFIG]228123[/ATTACH] Well there’s this tatty set from my old collection out there somewhere….maybe someone on the forum knows where they are now?
The A1073 between Spalding and Crowland sits on top of a very high bank. Because the soil is mainly silt, the banking was made stronger, with X WW2 tanks. I have seen photos of these tanks, in some photos, an old timer showed me many years ago, so that myth, is a true story, and not a myth.
