Neil,

Welcome to the madhouse, however Ian sold that cockpit a few years ago to another guy whose a member here (also a Neil)

Thus….

However the cockpit was an unflown ‘boiler-plate’ or ‘space-model’ from Dunsfold and not the real XW272. More details (and photo’s) in this thread….

Cheers.

….I intend to go back once the Museum is open for visitors and have a better look around. I’ll take some more pics and post them here if people are interested.

And the Whirlwind, dont forget the Whirlwind 😮

If we split them into another forum, I think there is less chance of us all enjoying them as they come up.

Why ?

Other parts of the Key forums have their own sub-forums (and some very little usage they receive as well); can’t Historic have a sub-forum then ?

I’m just itching to launch the “Post your Hillson Bi-mono pic’s here” thread :diablo:

.

Just “an observation”, i wondered over to the photographic forum and back again. Couldn’t help but notice it’s 3 sub sections, entitled….

Tutorial, Airshow Photo’s and Civil Aircraft none of which seem best to cover photo’s of Historic types per se.

.

Three words….. POT, KETTLE, BLACK

So…. it’s ok praise and savour such photo’s as those posted by DT (aka ‘Postfade’), but if anyone else has a photographic contribution to the ‘historic’ forum, then it’s brickbats not bouquets ?

Fine by me…. i shall seriously have to reconsider if such photo’s from normally private collections should be shared in future.

Obviously it’s ~not~ taken as a bit of harmless fun that isn’t hurting anyone (after all why L@@K at a particular thread if you know what it’s gonna be about ?), unlike yet more bitching and in-fighting about XH558 etc, etc…..
