Panel

I don’t know about the panel itself although i have seen similar patterns. The ASI on the top right 480 MPH is correct for the Spitfire as is the turn and slip below it. The climb and descend on the far lower left is post war and used in Meteors and probably other early jets, its the same diameter as the war time version. The 600 Knots is also post war and used in Jets. The T&S looks American but not sure?. So the panel has 2 ASIs and is missing an altimeter and the directional indicator.

Does anyone know what happened to the airworthy Meteor drone from Llanbedr?

I know the other one went to the museum at Bentwaters, but what happened to the flyer?

When i picked up the Anson from there about two years ago it was still there with all the control equipment, he didnt want much for it but i didnt have the room, I could probably find his email if you are seriously interested.
By the way the Anson may be back on the market I think he’s looking to swap something smaller for it.

I dont think this question has been specifically covered before.

I was playing devils advocate a little. Truth is, there are not many airframes, outside of national collections that could be considered for return to flight.

RR299 was to be operated by BBMF, but was destroyed shortly before that was due to take place.

Perhaps you would consider why anyone (or group of people) would wish to spend £3M plus on an aircraft to donate to BBMF?

Good Luck to Redhill

No one laments the decline of the aero jumbles more than me and I have admit I trade on the internet and I think so do allot of the other members of this forum. Its not just airo jumbles that have suffered a steady decline allot of business have gone. It’s the sad face of progress that we can’t have our cake and eat it; one by one traders I have met at airojumbles have turned to the web. Lets face it without the web we wouldn’t have this forum to complain about it. Good luck to Redhill and i hope they do well.
