Welcome to Cockpitmania... official website for Folland Gnat XM692...





WHAT IT'S ALL ABOUT:

Hello and welcome to my new website. My name's Dave (or Dave T' on many online forums) and I collect both real aircraft (mostly cockpits of) and plastic model kits (1/24 to 1/72 scales), AFVs (1/25th & much larger!), instrument panels, parts, books, magazines, etc...

This site allows me to showcase my cockpit projects both past and present, my other interest of aircraft instrument panels, and 'other stuff'  that I get up to in what remaining spare time I have, such as the modeling and r/c tanks. Also please check out the links section to related websites I use and recommend.

Currently my main project is the cockpit of pre-production short nose Folland Gnat T.1 'XM692' (recently purchased via eBay!!), but also showcased here are other cockpits & aeronautica that comes into my hands. Some stay only a short while (e.g. a cockpit that is rescued at the eleventh hour but passes onto a good home), others are long term projects that I hope to finish myself, but are usually hindered by parts availability.

Previously owned 'toys' (in whole or part) include Harriers XV759 and ZD670, Flying Flea G-ARDZ, Tiger Moths G-ANFP and T6464, Jet Provosts XN632 and XN549, Seahawk WF145, Lightning XM144, Canberra WT520, Chipmunks WB626, WB560, WP927, WZ869 and WZ876, Hunters WN957, N-202 and PH-NLF, and assorted military vehicles....!!

If you wish to buy, sell, trade, chat or are just plain lonely, drop me a line, especially so if you require clear impartial advice on r/c tanks. I'm a fellow modeler, aviation enthusiast and IPMS member. If you are searching for something specific, just ask, I may have it!

Please note this website is still under construction
