Having looked at this thread, is the Mustang the only ‘warbird’ to have had a civilian colour scheme ? I think not ! Rolls Royce Spitfires come to mind, there must be lots of others too, one very colourfull ‘warbird’ (I rather hope the Hunter can be classed as a warbird) came to mind …. see below !

Such knowledgeable people you are ! thank you all for this, another photo showing the small explosive charge with cutter attached.

The last batch of Ray’s (shed man) photos of the construction of the Whirlwind project as is at the museum. I think Ray is going to start a new thread for the phase two part of the project, but I am sure he will still pop in here to answer any questions on the post within this thread.

As shed man told us above I have some more of his photos to post, showing even more of the construction of the Whirlwind nose section ….
Keith.
Well the Whirlwind project is moving on, shed man has mailed me these photos of the build, and ingenuity, put into this project as it is so far, I will post the photos and I am sure he will come back to answer any questions regarding the very imaginable products used ! enjoy.

Breaking away from the Whirlwind for a moment, there is also this very interesting early Boeing 747 cockpit simulator …
And the FE’s panel ….
shed man. You have got me there ! I don’t even know what a Sutton Harness is ??? apart from, I assume, it keeps the crew in their seats ???
But I am sure there will be someone on this very knowledgeable forum who will know, sometimes these things take time, it always astounds me how often a long forgotten thread suddenly pops its head back to the top of the page !!!
What I do have are some photos from a US website, with no name to credit to ? of a whirlwind cockpit interior ……
