Any one have links, photos or suggestions on where to find reference photos for the interior of the Westland Wyvern?
I found a nice color shot of the instrument panel in an issue of International Air Power Review, but I'm really looking for photos of the ejection seat and the harness arrangement (how close is it to the Hunter?)

Thanks!

Ok, now that that issue is resolved, what about wheel well and strut colors? Interior green, zinc chromate? Anyone know?

It's tough building these rarer birds (when it comes to refs)!

Hi Nathan...

I think there's a big set of profiles in one of my magazines at home...I'll search tonight and post pics if I find the article.

Cheers

Hi Nathan
found the article.
It was the cover story in

Scale Aviation Modeller International magazine - volume 9 issue 1
January 2003.

If you don't have it let me know and I'll see about getting colour photocopies for you. PM me.

Cheers
Peter
