Britannia/CL-44 Cockpit 2D.

[Scorpius]

Did not get to Bournemouth as it was blowing a gale and pouring with rain, so no market trip. Plan to go on my own this week, reckon the only way I can check to see if it is still there is by going on to the North side of the airfield.

Checked with the plane spotters who keep abreast of things and they have not shed any light, although it may now be owned by a Russian company.

Will report soon.

OK thanks

Well see what happens when you get a chance

Update on the Guppy at Bournemouth. She is still in one piece but nobody is allowed access to the aircraft until the ongoing legal wrangle over unpaid bills is sorted out.

However, I do believe once that is done, I will get access to the aircraft (via a third party) for the pics we need.

There is a bid on the table for the aircraft at the moment.

[Garry Russell]

Cheers for that.

It would be nice to see her saved

There is a derelict CL-44-6 (Yukon) in Uraguay but apart from that I think this is the only other frame left, unless the is something still extant in Africa which seems not to be the case now

Hi Garry,

I took just a few pictures at Kemble on colour slide but they are probably not as good as Dave B's, or at least won't be by the time they have been scanned.

On the CL-44 front, have you seen http://www.airliners.net/photo/First-In ... y/0167219/ ? This probably isn't quite what you need, but I found it a good work of reference for my never finished and long-abandoned CL-44 panel project.

Best wishes,

John

HI John

Yep seen that one

It's not reference pics I'm looking for but pics to use for the 2D cockpit views so have to be specific angles and matching quality etc......in other words especially taken for that sole purpose

Fraser has made a panel for this model

What sort of pics are the Kemble shots??

They are fairly close views of the dials, mostly, not really from angles you would want to use in an FS panel, I'm afraid.

Thanks anyway John

The panel is already done for the Britannia
