DB18 DHC Dashboard & Screen Vent

Post by Hedgie »

We are restoring a 1950 DB18 DHC, MTO 632. See attached photo.

The dashboard and capping were destroyed some years ago in a fire - see photos. They are being remade.

I would be most grateful if someone could send me some photos showing the recess in the top capping into which the rubber screen vent locates as ours has been burned away. A photo taken from the back would be the most useful.

Many thanks and best regards
Hedgie

Darren,
Many, many thanks for the photos and links you sent me.

They will hopefully resolve the queries that the restorer has.

Best regards
Hedgie
