  1. Thanks for the kind comments! In my view there are two invaluable resources for modellers working on a Lancaster: - Haynes "Lancaster Manual" - "The Lancaster Explored" software There are also a very active Facebook groups about Lancasters and building Lancaster models.
  2. 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" - the one below. 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 panorama, and switch to full screen mode! Internet Explorer is not recommended here, all other browsers work well. 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!
  3. 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!
  4. 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!
  5. 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. If you can think of an aircraft that could benefit from such work, please let me know!
  6. 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. The links are: Catalina virtual tour Catalina virtual tour, full window version (best for mobile devices) Catalina virtual tour on the Catalina Society website If you can think of an aircraft that might benefit from an interactive panorama, or a virtual tour, please let me now!
  7. This might be of interest as a reference for a large scale model: The interactive panorama shows a Spitfire Mark IX, TD314, built 1944 at Castle Bromwich. The aircraft has been recently restored to the highest standard, the only not authentic part in the cockpit is the radio, and that's discreetly placed in the original map box. The panorama is best viewed on a device with a mouse cursor - if you hover the cursor over an item of interest, a description and, for items out of view, a still photo will pop up. You can look in every direction, and zoom in to a very high level of detail. You also can fire up the Merlin engine - just press the Engine Start button!
