A Fouga cockpit section or more Fouga parts 🙂
Wasn’t the original instrument panel ‘safe’ then ? Maybe a refreshing change could be a Spanish scheme instead of prentending to be something it isn’t!
Indeed! Only true colors are spanish or BOB movie paint schemes. About the panel, sure it might be safe, but it really looks out of place in an aircraft like that:( Just painting the cockpit black would make a huge difference.
naaah. I like buchons. You just have to paint them right and have a decent warbird cockpit in them!
first thing on the list (I hope): change that UGLY cheap instrument panel and repaint the cockpit!
WOW! That’s one great pile of crap 😀 Why am I not living in the UK:( I would LOVE to help with a project like this. I wish you guys all the luck with this. Hope to see a Whitley one day 🙂
Nice! Do you have any overview pictures of all the pieces/parts you have in store?
Bought myself Airplane, Apollo 13 SE and The Right Stuff SE. Airwolf season 2&3 and Chevaliers du ciel are to follow next week:)
Merry Christmas!
The vulcan was a full scale model constructed on land, shipped in pieces and reconstructed under water. It’s still there although all you can see now is a corroded metal frame.
I wonder, seeing it with the Nimrod nose fairings removed. If it’s scrapped, would it be possible to restore the cockpit section as a Comet cockpit?
What’s the story on this (XV246)?
What’s there to preserve? All I see in the pictures is a 30% finished wooden fuselage that is very rotten. I would rebuild and make it more complete so that it actually looks like a flea.

why not move it to Brunty:diablo:
To the North of the Boulton Paul factory at Wolverhampton a complete
dummy decoy factory was erected . It was later found that the Luftwaffe
had both marked on their charts,clearly marked “real” and “decoy” !
However the factory was only attacked once ,but they missed and hit
the nearby sewage works.Smelly ,I’m told by people who were there.
Wasn’t chemical warfare banned?:p
