there was a canopy glass on ebay around xmas did not see if it sold or not
As I cook diner for the better half and make sure she ahs everything she needs i discuss the Gnat and how it would fit in the shed nice and snug and not be in the kitchen, at least i have given a little back!:cool:
Then buy a tank top, some nice shoes from the back of a sunday suplement a step ladder and a strange mate in an anorak.
Then its of to airshows all over the country;)
WOW ! now what shall it be
Spitfire Cockpit?
Gnat Cockpit?
DIVORCE?
No cockpits,,,,, No Divorce
:rolleyes:
Thanks YAK rider, not very nice using Hurricane as a call sign I came over all dizzy for missing a Hurricane at NW
Shame the nose is missing though. Would the glass be an item easily replaced?
I would think there must be some canopys about but the seat looks great and it would make a lovely project but i think divorce is more expensive so i may have to toss a coin :dev2:
this may help as well

The Armstrong Whitworth “Siskin” was one of the first fighter aircraft to be developed by the RAF after World War I. It was introduced into the RAF in 1924 and remained in service until 1932. The Siskin was a superb aerobatic aircraft and presented thrilling exhibitions of flying at every RAF display from 1925 to 1931. In 1926 the British Air Ministry sent two Siskin III’s to Canada for testing by the RCAF under winter flying conditions. The RCAF eventually purchased the Mark IIIA version which were used to equip the Fighter Flight at Camp Borden and Trenton. In 1937 the Flight became No. I (Fighter) Squadron and was transferred from Trenton to Calgary in August of 1938.
