I like to think Dave that out there, somewhere, are some genuine panels.. either bare or complete. And if they ever became available that i might be given the chance of adding them to what i already have. Reproduction panels is an option, although for now thats not really what i want to spend my money on. But, i have been collecting relevant instruments as and when they turn up so i’m not counting anything out completely. After all, who would of thought that not one but two windscreen sections would turn up! 🙂

Ahh, yes, that would be South Yorkshire then :o. Apologies all yorkshiremen. So did you come across the windscreen before hand then Jon?

Wyvern project

Some of the additions i’ve made recently;

Pic 1 – Thanks to Bruce i now have the correct issue GGS for the S.4. But i’m still looking for a Type 2 Mk.1 8B/2860 retractable mounting.

Pic 2 – In the space of two weeks i came across both types of stick top, as fitted amongst other types to turboprop Wyverns. On the left an AC1400 = TF.2 and early S.4, on the right AC10300 = late S.4. Both complete and in working order.

Pic 3 – Following a tip off from the eagle eyed Dave Collins and a trip by me upto South Yorkshire i managed to acquire another windscreen section. This one being in superb condition. It differs from the other one that i have in that it is from an earlier TF.2 pre-production aircraft, with different fittings where it meets the face of the earlier type of canopy. I’m still looking for a curved and hinged front aerodynamic section though to complete the windscreen. The same trip also yielded a nice early MB seat safety pin and disc.
