Yes a cockpit tub would be a sweat deal….

ill hopefully have some new film of this up soon as we’re going to run her up tomorrow (i think) but only three engines, as we’ve not finished the engine swap yet 🙂

Are you swapping in a spare Griffon or refreshing the one that was on the aircraft?

Vintage Wings of Canada – Corsair

I think I found the items 35 to 37 in a T33 manual .. I will scan and post images tomorrow.

Here is another picture of the Glide Scope.

Hi WB556, no panel. My collecting philosophy was to get the seat, the sticktop and a suitable helmet for each seat I decided to collect.
For the T33 I have also added a late 1940’s throttle and rudder pedals.
On reflection adding a panel would probably have been a good idea, but at the time they were of little interest to me.

I like the early American seats, and they make a nice change from the Martin Baker ones I have worked on in the past.

But as in many areas of this hobby, parts are the problem, and it has taken me 8 years to get this far and it’s still not quite complete, although I have to overcome my laziness and finnish the job now !

Looks like a brillant collection of T33 cockpit equipment. Like all the bits and pieces like belt/ pilot check list etc. I look at my projects as being very very long term when anyone asks for a timeline…..Andrew

Has anyone heard or seen any new developments with regards to Historical Flight Foundation’s DC-7B. Guessing she is still parked in Charlotte NC?

Thanks for all the updates Steve on RAG. I like yourself consider myself very lucky to have had the opportunity to see his collection fly in Canada and across the border.

I had a chance to chat with some of the Gatineau lads from VWoC last fall and I asked about the RAG Hurricane and I was more or less told that its original center section had some pitting issues….sorta similar to what was perhaps found in the Whereats Hurricane. Yes both could be flown with that condition but perhaps with some limitations.
