Wasn’t there a notable section of P-61 found on an airfield or in a scrapyard many years ago, possibly in the fifties or sixties?

Great collection and photos.

Gannet XL450 is now the oldest surviving complete AEW.3, so its good to see she is looking well looked after.

Thanks for the replies so far guys.

Robbo – interesting link, thanks. Part numbers i have begin with L-140, so possibly a prefix of Lobelle.

James – Any idea how many Mk’s of Spitfire had Malcolm canopies?

Love it!! Worth every penny in my opinion.

Just for the record Sicobra there is a dedicated ebay thread on here were we post all interesting items we find on there. It makes it easier to view all in one place 😉

Thanks Mike. Not sure what we would find Sturgeon wise in Australia though.

But any chance of you smuggling one of those two AS Python engines that are in Oz back to me in England 😀

Its already had one nomination, but in my eyes the Mirage IV has to be one of the most beautiful aeroplanes… ever!

Great work Rob – really looking forward to seeing the Sturgeon develop over the coming months

Regards,

Tim

Thanks Tim. Despite it being an extremely rare type like your Martinet i’m still confident that there’s parts out there for the Sturgeon. Just a question of tracking them down. Well done on your recent success by the way.

Wyvern and Sturgeon

The Wyvern relevant collection of instruments continues to slowly grow, although some of which are proving quite hard to find. Shown here are the correct VHF radio control, oxygen regulator, nos switches and one of the three Simmonds fuel contents gauges. I’m still looking for the other two; 6A/3052 and 6A/3051

I’ve also made a little progress on the Sturgeon’s P11 compass mount, although it has yet to be cut to shape. This will help give an approximate guide to the length and width of the left side main control panel.
Hmm, i wonder what the chances are of finding an original throttle box :rolleyes:.

Well’ should be noted as one of Frogs last kits 🙁

Interesting find and comparison Brian, and they certainly do look to be the same sections even after cleaning. I know glass is pretty resilient to cleaning (certainly alot more than perspex is) but i’d be interested to know what was used to remove hardened deposits from it without damaging it, such as the limpets etc.
