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.

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? Image 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:

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 :lol:
