Thanks Lance.

Got to take a few pics now that I've joined it all together.
Still detailing the bits and pieces, like a wireless and suchlike.

Best Regards

The cockpit, as far as I have progressed. Still to add things
like spark wireless and key etc. once I have researched to
find what was actually use in the 1920's. Getting there
slowly.

After some research, I have now added a scratch built,
Type 57 Reciever and a Spark Gap Transmitter, along
with a post war style Trailing Antenna Spool. Fiddly, and
still to add some wiring. Plus the Telegraphy Key.

Have a good week lads

Wow, Dave!  Truly brilliant work on the wireless!  Won't see much of it when she's all closed up, but still...
Wouldn't have expected anything less from you, mate.
Cheers,
Bud

Cheers Bud, but some Ninacks had a sliding hatch just
behind the gun to allow the gear to be installed and
removed so I'll give it a bash and see where I get.

All the best Bud

Sounds like an interesting addition Dave, and one I'm sure you'll be able to pull off - looking forward to it ;D ;D ;D
(lots of pics please ;D ;))

No worries Andrew. I'm a wee bit slow, but I get there.

All the very best from NZ

Hello Dave:

The radio work is outstanding!  As Bud mentioned when you button it up it all goes away, hopefully your sliding panel will be able to show off that work to good effect.  Lots of time and research I'll bet went into arriving at that scheme. 
Looking forward to more.

Best

Thanks

Seemingly, the Raf used these wireless telegraphy units up unti the 1920's
when real radio telephony came in properly. However, the info on this stuff
is vague and undocumented, at least Google-wise, so a bit of licence has to
be used. Its as near as 'dammit' . . . . And in RAF blue too.

Best Regards

Dave
