What Cockpit? MK VI
Nice try but no. However, there is a DH88 connection - keep thinking along those lines.
Wild stab at a Percival Mew Gull?
Four and a half days elapsed time for a total distance of 12,700 miles - 40 hours each way with a 28 hour stop in Cape Town! No wonder he had to be lifted out when he arrived back. I cannot imagine spending even two hours in that cramped cockpit.
An excellent web page here Flight details and of course Alex wrote a book The Flight of the Mew Gull which I have on order and am eagerly awaiting.
A nice picture of the present day cockpit of G-AEXF can be seen here Percival P6 Mew Gull (G-AEXF) #03 - 30th March 2008 :: (G-AEXF) #03.jpg, along with other photos of her restoration

The Mew Gull cockpit shown has been updated. An original Mew Gull cockpit can be viewed at wonwinglo.scale-models.net. The bag hanging on the cup-hook is ballast. Yes, the aircraft was out of C of G, so bags of ballast had to be placed in the cockpit, the amount depending on the pilot's weight.

I even left a clue.......
My excuse is that it was 0330 here - one shouldn't challenge the sharp minds around here while sleep walking.

What cockpit list.
I believe there is a problem with the Geocities website. I have tried to update the current lists but am unable to get into Geocities. Am I to believe this is the case for all pruners? Mel
