Have to second that, that when the museums close there doors for the winter months, the work begins for majority of museums to maintain and improve the facilities and displays. Hawkinge (The Kent Battle of Britain museum) is one of those if you visit there facebook page they provide you with all the goings on and the improvements throughout the winter months.

Also i would like to second what a Fantastic museum at the Sywell airfield i try to get there at least twice a year, looking forward to March.

We have here at HARS Franz Stiglers personal Me 108 (Noord 1009) which he flew after the war in Canada and which is painted up in the colour scheme of his Me 109 when he encountered B17 Ye Old Pub over Germany

And another terrific summary of the story here:

Lets hope it goes ahead, and it shows what a major part the Polish and Czechs played during and after the summer of 1940..

I’m ashamed to say that I had never heard of the museum before.

Have to say neither had i, as last night i was going through the net seeing what was open originally i was going to Duxford but found this Museum and thought i would give it ago.. although small i was pleasantly surprised..

Hi Keith
Thats Great to hear, i couldn’t believe the amount of hours that these Pilots had covered during there time.. and also the amount of nationalities that were involved. also there ability to jump into any type of aircraft on the day, it could be one or numerous types in just one day.. all they had was a tiny pilots note book to help them on there way, sometimes i feel they were unsung heroes.of helping to keep us in the air.. amazing people.

Hi
I feel I’ve eventually identified the panel relic that i feel is part of an Avro Lincoln mid upper gun turret (as suggested earlier by Vacb well done). As whilst visiting Hendon museum I came across the B17 turret. Looking inside the panel was plain to see. Does anyone know other variants of aircraft that this type of turret was fitted to? Also the lever on the right hand side of the panel what was this used for?
Thank you in advance for any replys..

Oh sorry for giving anyone neck ache as ive sent this from my phone and cant work the dam thing out, and the kids are out so know help there..

Pretty convinced now that this is a rear cockpit rudder pedal from a Spitfire trainer here is another photo from ml407..
Thanks again for all the help given.

Rear seat Spitfire TRAINER.

Hi Mark 12

Thank you for clearing that up.

Would anyone no whether this type of rudder pedal was used only in the rear section of the spitfire trainer. or was it another pattern used generally. (i would think a tough question) i guess also this pedal may of been made privately for this particular project.. would anyone have the identity of the spitfire in the link..

Thanks Trolly Aux for your input.

Ive been told possibly Stirling but appears to differ unless of course there were different types of rudder..

Hi Would anyone have any ideas what this relic section of panel may be from?
Ive had this for around 3 years, purchased from ebay..looks more to me like it could be from a ford cortina dash.but i thought id give it a go.. it is said to be from a Heinkel crash..emmm

hi
Going back to my post 1016 i have found a couple of links for the Viking yoke, https://www.facebook.com/AviationSA/photos/a.10153208975133637.1073741959.128228483636/10153208977993637/?type=3&theater file:///C:/Documents%20and%20Settings/Brad/Desktop/my%20viking%20yoke.htm

looking at these i am now swaying towards the Valetta yoke..

also ref photo below would anyone know around what year would this style of cockpit I/C R/T switch come in to use.

In fact if you look at the restoration pictures of the Swiss Vickers Viking (save-a-Viking) you will see the restored yokes, link as follows:
