As Chris`s pics show, the mid to later Bolly`s did have an instrument pattern which extended across the entire cockpit and the seat padding was seen in some and not others. Hey Tony, The early Bollie's had the windows as well. My guess is early Bolingbroke. Jim 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SleeperService Posted January 25, 2018 Share Posted January 25, 2018 Thank You for the extra information. @dogsbody 's link includes a new one to me showing the Bolly actually with the squadron. I'm off to search for more now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That set must have been taken just after conversion as the dorsal fin is missing, presumably that got added after flight trials. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
