Fmk.6john Posted October 15, 2009 Share Posted October 15, 2009 Tony, Unless they have gone onto the interactive CD rom that is an indepth guide to the museums aircraft, be one to ask about on Saturday (can't you tell I'm excited!!!).

GrahamS Posted October 15, 2009 Share Posted October 15, 2009 John Is it me ar they really useful? Never seen anything like that before. Wish more museums would do this for their aircraft. Thanks for posting Graham Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
T-Tango Posted October 15, 2009 Share Posted October 15, 2009 Is it my imagination, or just the angle, but on the Vulcan, the pilot would have to stand up to see where he was going out of the front windscreen. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fmk.6john Posted October 15, 2009 Share Posted October 15, 2009 Graham, Yes thay are very usefull, it illustrates just how cramped the conditions are in there!, you walk a fine line when producing this stuff for websites, firstly it is expensive to do and if you produce a 'virtual' air museum then poeple won't come to visit the real thing! (or at least reduce numbers). But then again for those who are not fortunate enough to be able to climb into said cockpit (trust me I am fit enough to do it but it still hurts!!!!) then it is excellent. T-Tango The Vulcan is a proper 'black hole' in there with minimal glass to see out of but one you are sat in the seat the visibility is fairly decent, throught the side (round) window you can see all the way down the wing leading edge, the big benefit the Vulcan could have had was a one piece front screen which would have made IFR less tricky.

Fmk.6john Posted October 15, 2009 Share Posted October 15, 2009 I would say it is better for those 'rare' cockpits that museums are not able to open for the public, ones that are so rare that a hoofing great fool like me jumping in them would end up causing irripairable damage to historically important air frames. That way you can let people see them without any damage, thus preseving things for the future. Regards, JB. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
