So the next daft question is where apart from Ebay are a good source of Blind flying panels…. fancy stating with either a Canberra or Shar only coz parts seem easy to aquire.

Thanks for showing me the way Master obe one Dave T!

actually that thread had some really good information in it. I’ve looked at the two vendors sites you mentioned and knowing what others paid for their complete SHars I guess one vendor is in for making a tidy sum for just the cockpit sections with the rest going for spare’s recovery or just plane scrap.

I was temped to put in a sealed bid for a SHar on the DSE site but did not think they sold to the general public.

Well thanks again.. guess Ive just got to get a few bits in place before taking the plunge. enough capital ect. I cant help thinking that your advice of a SHar or Jag as a first project might be the way to go if only coz of the availablity of spares etc.

as an after thought…

Would starting with say restoring a instrument panel be a good way to start??

regards and thanks

James Stewart also flew a few B52 missions in the Vietnam conflict during his time as a reservist.

My nomination for the title would be Pete Pinnock (who!) He used to be the chief photographer for the RAE during the 60s to 80s. many have seen his work but know him as MOD photographer.
