Looking for fuselage section in South-east UK

Hello.

I have recreated a main instrument panel form a Cessna 150 using simulated flight instruments to aid basic flight training within the Cessna 150 type aircraft.

I am looking for a suitable enclosure to enhance the simulation and is ideally looking to purchase an airframe from either salvage or a wreck / write off.

Would any of you be able to disclose any airfield or salvager than could perhaps aid an enclosure either C150 / 152 / C172, or know of any wrecks, salvage or overturned aircraft etc that could be purchased for simulation use / restoration of an non airworthiness cockpit.....

If anyone could be of any assistance, please feel free to contact me, any links/ contacts offered are greatly apreciated and willing to offer 'a drink' in return, without doubt.....

Kind Regards,

Alexander.

Hi Alexander,

I hope you've got flame-proof overalls since you've suggested using a simulator for "basic flight training" - see http://www.pprune.org/private-flying...light-sim.html

Seriously, although I can't help with what you've asked for, good luck with your search.

I don't have their contact details, but there's a fairly active aircraft breaker at Booker - should be easy to contact, or just drive over there and say hello.


There's also a knackered PA38 that looks okay from a safe distance but could firmly do with recycling at Chilbolton; I've no idea who owns it, but the airfield management (Stonefield Park) should. Mind you, if the owner is still paying his tie-down fees...

Hi,

I did google MK Aero Support Ltd, but the email addresses all gave failure notices when I sent an email, they no longer exist!

Thanks.

Alex

Then there will be several owners on our field searching for a new shop... Have you tried phoning Andrewsfield Aviation - they may be able to help as they're right next door!
