    Wow – looking great Alex! Well done. I’ve sent some pics through of the correct shades of finish for the fuselage interior, including cockpit green.

    Excellent work!

    Don’t blame the RAFM – as pointed out the Hampden was recovered by a private individual. I spoke to the son of one of the missing crewmen some years ago – I can assure you there were no hard feelings and he was delighted his dads Hampden had been located.

    The restoration has been ongoing and this was a “long-term” project. Perhaps a change in direction on this particular project has prompted a new or revised management plan.

    I think the comments you left on the site are a bit unfair Kevin. I would think any issues regarding the crew are best dealt with by the MoD.

    Well spotted jeepman….
    What a pity that it appears people were more concerned with recovering the wreckage than the 3 crew. Doesn’t say much for the modern RAF “care” does it?
    and what’s with ? Surely that should be an initial stage, not halfway through the process!
    I do despair at modern technobabble and business speak, no wonder they lost sight of the human side of the crash…….

    As it’s American, maybe a post on WIX might get an answer…?

    I just saw it – unfortunately I missed it first time round. Here’s the link http://www.bbc.co.uk/iplayer/episode/b00wt8ys/Dig_1940_Battle_of_France_and_Dunkirk for anyone who missed it!

    A great programme – the Stuka was amazing.

    Its not the back end of a glazed fuselage from a Fw 189 or something similar?

    There you are – seems a bit daft paying £800 for a hurricane fuel gauge when you can use an anson one just as well…

    I wonder what happened to all the drawings for these gauges – did smiths destroy them all?

    If the Anson has a capacity of 38 gallons then from a practical (flying) point of view would it be possible just to recalibrate these for spits/hurricanes?

    This is a casting not an angle. Angles in my experience are usually made of sheet aluminium, although I’m sure there are exceptions.

    Where’s Fluffy – he should know if it’s lanc or not.

    Hi Peter – if it is lanc ‘F’ should indicate part of the wing structure…

    Sorry Peter – I don’t recognise it. What’s it made of? Any pics of the other similar item?
