Nice looking cockpit, all you need is the canopy!!
Richard you are a wag. I wonder where i could find one ?

Still looking for Harrier bits to help ‘806 and other cockpits such as Pagen’s XZ993, especially upper left quadrant of a moving map display.
Meanwhile time for a little update now work has commenced starting with a before and after type photo…..

The museum idea would be nice, but in reality neither I nor my friend, and others I know, have had any luck with museums, I personally have either been met with it the kind of response along the lines we would be happy for you to give it to us, or sorry we dont have anything for trade or silly offers, best was a repro BFP and battered trainer panel for a major WW2 Bomber throttle Box, same museum has a very long list of wants needless to say. Another good one was after offering a rare rudder pedal assembly a group needed for their cockpit was to be told, I would have to wait 3 months until the committee next met and discussed it, no thanks, said cockpit is still pedal less, 6 years on.
The best of all when I approached a museum who had a stripped out cockpit, I had acquired 80% of the parts they needed, I offered them the stuff, I was met with sorry don’t want it, so I asked if they wanted to sell the cockpit so I could restore it, and was told we are going to restore it (for which my first thought was how ? if you don’t want the parts???????), then less than 12 months later after I had got rid of my stuff, I by chance found out they now wanted to sell it !!!!!
Those parts have now left the UK and that cockpits best shot at ever being restored has gone.
Oh mate… that is ~exactly~ how it is IMHO, especially the committee bit
