I would be grateful if you could send them directly to me - harald AT haraldjoergens.com Thanks, Alicatt!!

Alicatt, thank you very much - the corrected version is now online! Should you find anything else, please let me know. Some things slip through the net, unfortunately!

There are only three Lancasters in the world that are not stationary in a museum: The BBMF Mk.III PA474, the Canadian Mk.X FM213, and NX611 "Just Jane". This virtual tour has been created for the Lincolnshire Aviation Heritage Centre in East Kirkby. There are three panoramas from the outside, eight of the inside, from the bomb aimer to the rear gunner, and a high resolution panorama of the Memorial Chapel. Almost all details are labelled, many explained, just move the mouse cursor over an item of interest. Click here open the virtual tour, and switch to full screen mode! If you are interested in future aircraft panoramas, please sign up to my mailing list! A bit more about the panorama can be found here. Next to come are a Tiger Moth. If you can think of an aircraft that could benefit from such work, please let me know!

The de Havilland Vampire WZ507 is well known to the British air show scene, a rare cold war jet fighter preserved and flown by the Vampire Preservation Group, based at North Weald airfield. This interactive cockpit panorama has been created for the Vampire website - it's enormously expensive to keep such an old warbird flying, and the panorama is meant to attract visitors to the Vampire website, join their Supporter's Club, or even become shareholders. Click on the photo below to open the panorama, and switch to full screen mode! If you are interested in future aircraft panoramas, please sign up to my mailing list! A bit more about the panorama can be found here. Next to come are a Tiger Moth, and complete virtual tour of one of the iconic WWII bombers. If you can think of an aircraft that could benefit from such work, please let me know!

Engine sound added and unclear items defined Thanks to the Lightning Preservation Group, a recording of a Lightning engine start-up sound has been added. There is only one digital "button" for both engines. It's on the starboard side, see the photo below. If your device has a mouse cursor, the explanation will pop up, if you are using a touchscreen device, just tap on the area. There will be a change in the next few days - right now the button does Start/Pause, and not Start/Stop.

That's the best I can do since all the photography was done with an 8-15mm lens: Could it have something to do with the IFF unit? The two buttons behind look a bit like the IFF self destruct buttons on the Spitfire.

Alicatt, thanks for investigating! That un-identified object is indeed a bit ofa mistery! Would it help if I could find (and post here) a more detailed photo of the "object"? Thanks! Harald

Thanks, Alicatt! I would appreciate any sharing of the link! The Tangmere museum is certainly an interesting place! The original runway can clearly be seen, and there are still some bullit holes from a Luftwaffe attack during WWII in a wall of one of the buildings.

The volunteers at the museum have spent a lot of time to get the hydraulics for the canopy, and all the electrics for the cockpit lighting going again for the photography stage of the project. Tangmere Military Aviation Museum is certainly worth a visit! Regards Harald

For a client, the highly recommended Tangmere Military Aviation Museum near Chichester, I have created a high resolution virtual tour of their English Electric Canberra B2 (WE113). The virtual tour combines three interactive panoramas: - The pilot's view in the cockpit; - the navigator's view in his station behind the cockpit; - the bomb aimer's view lying in the nose of the aircraft. All controls, instruments, and switches are explained - just move the cursor over an area of interest, and a text will pop up (this doesn't work on touch devices - there is no cursor). The individual panoramas were shot inside a museum's hangar, using the available light. Click on the photos below to open the virtual tour, and switch to full screen mode! Cockpit view: Navigator view: ] Bomb aimer view: ] If you are interested in future aircraft panoramas, please sign up to my mailing list! A bit more about the panorama can be found here. More aircraft are lined up for 2015. If you can think of an aircraft that could benefit from such work, please let me know!

For a client, the highly recommended Tangmere Military Aviation Museum near Chichester, I have created a high resolution interactive cockpit panorama of their English Electric Lightning F.53, ZF578. The panorama has two parts - a daylight view, and a night view, with the cockpit light for the instruments switched on. Please use the "virtual switch" on the top left to toggle daylight! In the daylight panorama, all controls, instruments, and switches are explained. Unfortunately, this does not work on touchscreen devices. The panorama was shot inside a museum's hangar, using only available light. Click on the photo below to open the panorama, and switch to full screen mode! Night view: If you are interested in future aircraft panoramas, please sign up to my mailing list! A bit more about the panorama can be found here. More aircraft are lined up for 2015.

Can you identify the Tiger Moth? It's possible that I can find the registration in one of the photos, so I could add a bit more information about the aircraft!

It was in the late morning of November 30 - could that have been you?

The cockpit of this Catalina flying boat, built 1943 in Canada, has some modern components - it's still flying, and one of the stars of the British air show scene. G-PBYA is owned by the Catalina Society, and based at the Imperial War Museum in Duxford, Cambridgeshire, where the virtual tour was shot. All controls, instruments, and switches are explained - just hover over an area of interest, and a text will pop up (this doesn't work on touch devices, unfortunately). The panoramic view shot at the rear of the aircraft is quite unusual, it's shot from inside one of the huge perspex blisters. The rear of the aircraft is almost authentic, so this might be a useful reference.
