Pleased to learn of your interest in the Hastings era at Colerne. I flew as a pilot on 24 Sqn from 1958 to 1963 and have fond memories of Colerne and the Bath area. I'm not able to help you out with cockpit photo's, but understand that the Hastings at the Newark museum is opened up for visitors. I must pay a visit myself some time and show great grandchildren what a proper airplane looked like!

Pity you couldn't join us all on 12th June we looked inside TG517 at Newark, quite good condition except the leaks in the cockpit, I think the two blue buckets in the two front seats are optional extras!

Noisy thing but wouldn't it be nice to see one of these flying today, the Cosford example is in good condition.
