We are currently restoring our instrument panel to its original WW2 USAAF format (ours came with a modified panel with some later instruments that may be suitable for a D4)- we may have some surplus instruments for sale – let me know what you need – ebay seems a good source of instruments also.

Terry,

Any chance I could have a copy too – email [email]jasonwebb@bottishamairfieldmuseum.org.uk[/email]

Binbrook,

Stephen’s photos at Thorpes Abbott example looks to be D4 – is yours the one that was advertised on ebay recently??

I would get in touch with the Norfolk & Suffolk Aviation museum. We have an ANT-18 and they have been incredibly helpful with advice, expertise and parts.

They currently run an ANT-18 and a D4 from memory which are live and give rides to kids of all ages!

More helpful people you couldn’t wish to meet.

Good luck

Jason

Bottisham P-51 project

Progress slow but sure – new canopy glass acquired – bulkhead being sand blasted prior to permanent fitting – seat fully restored – cockpit panel complete.

Now focusing on fitting wooden floor and trying to find some suitable H section for upper longerons.

N9 gunsight, SCR 522 radio & throttle quadrant still on wants list.

Interesting but sad photos – would love to save the Cessna Bobcat.

Thanks for posting.

Perhaps my posting was a bit harsh – entirely possible that it did come from Candyman/Moose. It maybe something fitted post-war??
