Cees,

I know of the 'cockpit' you are talking about. This was a collection of parts which included front and rear spars for a MKII tempest (not MKV as was claimed at the time). It also included lots of brackets and throttle controls. These were definitely not worth the money that the guy was asking for them......but they were eventually sold to someone down in Shoreham (he has some sort of affiliation with the musuem on the airfield there).

There were a couple of brackets that I wanted and a set of rudder pedals for a Typhoon (different to the Tempest) but the guy decided to sell as a job lot rather than splitting them up. The new owner hadn't had the chance to sort through everything that he has....but this was a while ago, must get back in touch.

Hope this helps

Dave
