I'm on cloud nine.  Nope, its not an addon for MSFS or X-Plane, its a very
special place reserved for people who have managed to find brand new spare
parts for their 51 year-old aircraft.

Gene Buckle once described these parts as being made of "unobtanium" - a
phrase I've used many many times over the last few years. However, last
Friday I met up with a chap who had all the majot parts I've been needing
to rebuild my 1954 Hawker Sea Hawk cockpit. It cost me an arm and a leg
(and a few internal organs too) but I've managed to get parts I never
dreamed I'd ever find - and some are brand new!

There's one vital part I'm still missing but I've think... THINK.. I may
have found 'em. I'm awaiting a digital photo to confirm - and that would
rock rock and thrice rock!

For anyone interested, check out the project website at

Latest pics are on the "Restoration Diary" page.

Thanks for letting me vent!

Roy.
