-Which Mark Rob?

-Either TT.2 or TT.3 would do John, as although they have different noses / profiles, i'm 99% sure they shared the same windscreen assembly.

-Hi Rob
Was going to see if there was anything suitable in our AP but it's for an AS1 so I don't think it's what you're after
cheers

That must be rarer than rocking horse dung! Do you mean AS.1 as in the S.B.3 type?

-Thats interesting John. Is that not the Seamew rather than Sturgeon?

-I must admit that I didn't think that the Sturgeon based S.B.3 (don't think it was named as such) got to the stage where it recieved a service designation, though AS.1 would have been it if it had.

-Cheers Dave. Its a fascinating book that i highly recommend, as i already have it. But sadly its lacking in cockpit photos.. or indeed any close ups of that area inside and out.

No worries John :). Same company but thankfully the Sturgeon wasnt quite as ugly as the Seamew :D
Anyone else? Its hard to believe that with all those superb photos turning up on here from various collections, that no-one has what i'm looking for :(.

-I believe this appears in the Tony Butler book and is probably not detailed enough for your needs.....still a nice photo (credit: Carmel J Attard)
Kind regards,

-Yep your right Tim, it is in the book. Its along the right lines but needs to be a closer view.

Rob,
I could put you in touch with Tony Buttler to see if he has a ni-res scan of the original photo if you like?

-I was a great fan of the Short Sturgeon in all its marks 1,2 3 and the SB3.
I will try to attach some of my photographs.
