a few picture of recent activity...top is the back of a navy's chair and ,what told is, a flight engineers bag.
Next,a bit of posing I'm afraid with the flight engineers section.
Bottom wireless ops and flight engineers seat.
concentrating on the wireless position next,table,support frames,surround panels and radio gear is ready ( still missing some plugs for J switch though). Hopefully it will be assembled soon,been busy doing some Stirling displays for The British Legion and Somerset show..try to post some photos later...
Great stuff, Martin ................. keep up the good work.
PS - I was going to ask, 'what is that bag type of thing hanging on the right hand side of the picture'? ( image with the Flight Engineer ) ............ but then I realised it was a window that has been 'blacked out' with a cover.

You are either very old or very authentic ............... the latter I suspect. Extremely well done.
