HaraldJoergens Posted January 1, 2015 Posted January 1, 2015 For a client, Aero Legends based at Headcorn, the old Battle of Britain airfield in Kent, I have created a high resolution interactive cockpit panorama of their Spitfire Mark IX, TD314. The aircraft was built 1944 at Castle Bromwich, and has been completely and brilliantly restored by the Spitfire Company (Biggin Hill) Ltd. The only visible modern addition to the original cockpit is the radio, and that's cleverly disguised in the original map box on the left. All controls, instruments, and switches are explained. If they are out of view (like the magnetic compass behind the control column), a static photo pops up with the explanation (unfortunately, this does not work on touchscreen devices). You can even (virtually) fire up the Merlin engine - turn up the volume! The panorama was shot outside the Aircraft Resoration Company hangar at Duxford. Click on the photo below to open the panorama, and switch to full screen mode! If you are interested in future aircraft panoramas (also online is the English Electric Lightning and Canberra, and the Duxford Catalina), 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! Happy New Year! 1 Harald Joergens Harald Joergens Photography Interactive Panoramas and Virtual Tours

bongodriver Posted January 1, 2015 Posted January 1, 2015 I like the pop up label for the Tiger Moth, I am intrigued as to wether it might have been me flying the Tiger in the pic, what date was this taken?

It was in the late morning of November 30 - could that have been you? Harald Joergens Harald Joergens Photography Interactive Panoramas and Virtual Tours
bongodriver Posted January 1, 2015 Posted January 1, 2015 November....no it wasn't me then, almost certainly one of my colleagues finishing off the season.
HaraldJoergens Posted January 1, 2015 Author Posted January 1, 2015 November....no it wasn't me then, almost certainly one of my colleagues finishing off the season. 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!
