That’s very sad Cees – I was extremely excited about seeing a complete Hampden cockpit. Don’t the RAFM have drawings you can copy?
Well, you can always start a Whitley cockpit. I have a lot of information and i’m sure I can find some spare parts for you. I just finally got a control column.
You know most of the 4 group crews trained on the Whitley before graduating the the Halifax 🙂
Hi Stuart and Al – is that flange on the end a form of manifold? Looks odd, but could well be the Wellington. Daft question but any part numbers?

Great work Cees – what’s with the decision to extend it?

I agree with Hindenburg – it doesn’t look familiar as an FN part…

Early war RAF aircraft were 12 volt – I think the change to 24 volt came later on in the conflict. The Whitley was 12V.
Hi John – is there a specific spinner you are interested in? I have a drawing for an ES10 from a Whitley. At least one type of spinner was used on both aircraft.
Any chance you can ask them for the numbers AC?
Yes, it looks like Lanc to me too
Thanks for the links guys – some great tools there. My new workshop is almost finished – still needs a few windows but it is up and running.
I have my eye on one of those guillotines – thanks!
It certainly looks like a Spitfire tailwheel – difficult to say for sure without the numbers….
Hi Ewan – can you post a link to your blog please?
I can’t find it!
TonyT –
Merlinpete is a hero of the highest order and the world would be a boring place without him. He’s also helped me a lot over the years – often at a cost to himself and he’s an excellent engineer and a nice guy to boot.
Please drop it!
