willedoo Posted August 14, 2018 Posted August 14, 2018 Hello all, I got to climb inside an ex RAAF Neptune today at the Qld. Air Museum. Certainly interesting; a total rabbit warren full of instruments, switches and gauges. One thing that impressed was the roomy cockpit with a really good level of visibility. Not made for people with arthritis though. You need better knees than mine to get in and out of it comfortably. Looking forward to the Orion arriving there in the future. The bigger aircraft always seem to create a lot of interest with the visitors. A bit of the wow factor, I guess. In the biggish category, they've got the F-111, Caribou, DC-3, Ventura, Neptune, and soon to be Orion. A shame there's not a spare Liberator around for restoration. Cheers, Willie.
