Inside XL231

[Nemo_uk]

The following is a panorama I created of Andre Tempest's Victor XL231 based at the Yorkshire Air Museum. Stunning example, very well looked after by Andre and his team of volunteers. Clicking on the image will open the panorama in a new window, it requires Adobe Flash. You can zoom in & out using your mouse wheel or SHIFT to zoom in and CTRL to zoom out.

Excellent, it looks to be very neat and tidy and well looked after.

I always get confused with these 360 views I always seem to move the mouse the wrong way

This Victor composit and the one Nemo
posted before of a Vulcan are SO GOOD,
I think they need their own place of
hono(u)r so they can be easily found
and visited again and again!!!

I'm hoping he does more of them

How hard would doing that be and
what's the best way????????

Oh, and Thank You NEMO

I think there is a fair bit of work for Wedgy to build another sub forum but I can if you like and Nemo agrees merge the two threads and sticky them?

[Dan4th]

Sounds like a plan!

Each one so far is good for many
visits, and there's something new
each time you look.....

Again, I hope these are the first
of a series

You also might want to ask Nemo if
he'd like them protected from being
downloaded elsewhere....

Thanks, Pam!

Love the picture.....And particularly the word (ARMED) gulp.....!

[Dan4th]

Ray, if you CLICK on the picture, you
get a moveable panorama of the inside
of the cockpit!

Nemo, many apologies, I couldn't be there on the Sunday you came to do this as I had to rush my better half to A&E, and I'd no idea they were playing jet chess on the day either. I had told Andre a couple of weeks before to expect you though...
Glad you managed to re-schedule though, many thanks you've done a cracking job!

Ray the ARMED cover is there to stop sticky fingers pressing the (live) engine fire extinguisher buttons.

Great, thanks for sharing

[Aceyone]

Excellent

[Nemo_uk]

Thanks for the kind words.

I had hoped to photograph all the V force unfortunately the Royal Air Force Museum Cosford have said there is a charge of "several hundred pounds" for opening, closing and otherwise providing access to XD818.

great image Nemo, I too have had the pleasure of getting inside `Lusty Lindy`

If you are on flickr, please feel free to add the image to my XL231 group

I can't help but think if the right person
at Cosford were to see the panoramas
you have done so far, they would allow
you to do the Victor and any other of
their aircraft Free! Gratis! No Charge!
Especially if they could have the use of
the finished product(s)

Sounds like a Quid Pro Quo to Me!

Hi Dan4th ,

I emailed the museums Curator, Al McLean with a link to the Vulcan and Victor panoramas and an offer of the source image for free, he unfortunately would not waive the charges. Oh well, back to YAM tomorrow to photograph inside the DH 104 Devon

[Dan4th]

Al McLean has a BOSS, Nemo

Not to mention a Board of Directors

I still think there is someone who
could make this happen!
