Just been at work taking these photos for someone, so I thought I'd show you a simple view my place of "work" (loosest possible term!)

God that must be an awful task having to go into that every day

A hard life Chris

....No swiveling chair??..
..How do you cope??  ;)

Nod a bad job you have there. That thing looks a tad more complicated than a Tiger Moth.

Lol! The photo doesn't show all the switch banks down either side either! Amazingly enough the most difficult instrument to get to work correctly is the darn clock on the left hand side. Note the cunningly placed trim switch on top of the control column. The first (RAF) Tucano lost was because of that switch (crew inadvertantly selected full nose down trim whilst holding the control column with both hands during an inverted spin). Made for and interesting recovery, and unaware of the accidental trimming, the aircraft was abandoned in the Martin Baker fashion...

What I would do to get a job that close to aircraft............

Yeah, but at least he has a window office

Mirrors to adjust the handlebar moustache too...

It's a nice little aeroplane. Just over 1050hp so keeping the slip ball in the middle is a mare. I'll try and get some airborne shots if I can get a back seat trip (one where don't have to do any work!)

I have a window office too, *and* a swivelling chair......



I imagine the view is a bit better where Charlie works though  :(
