Super Guppy Cockpit

Hi;

Does anyone know where I can find cockpit photos of the Aero Spacelines Super Guppy. I've been working on one, and I would like to add a VC if possible.
I've already got the images on Airliners.net, Jetphotos.net, and Myaviation.net. I've also done a google search.

Unfortunately, there isn't enough coverage of the whole cockpit to make a VC, so I am still looking for more pictures.

Can anyone help.
Thanks;

Hi Graham

There is one at Bruntingthorpe.

You do mean the Guppy based on the stratocruiser ?.

if so there is one there & i think it's complete too.

Regards
Rick

I've been up in the office of that Brunty one and it is complete, I think they might even have power capability..

Anyway, took photos of it I know for sure. I'll see if I can dig them up.

Dano.

Hi Graham,

Wow your working on a guppy?

Yet another niche in the FS world that is being adhered to. Hope the project is coming along ok. Any chance of some WIP pictures? Or are you saving them...!? :eek:

From what I read years ago, the flight modeling will be even more of a challange, very odd to fly and NO autopilot at all :shock:

Yes.

Wot about the panel/cockpit from Greg Peppers' (Cal Classics) Strat?
That has some good views imho

I was going to suggest the same thing - with the engine instruments
from an Electra panel - seeing as they have the same engines

No Autopilot???? Of course they had one - the one that sits in the right
seat
