Fitted the bulkhead window today. I found I was unable to use some of the existing holes for screwing to the frame because the holes had become enlarged so the heads on the screws were passing through. So I had to drill a few new ones.

Red oxided the large bulkhead window and will give the inner side a coat of grey tomorrow.
Painted the back of the aluminium cladding for the window corners with a thin coat of grey ready for fitting.
Grey semi gloss applied to the inside part of the bulkhead window frame today. Whilst this was curing I finished stripping paint from the panel to the left of the door, ready for fitting the forward lower panel (below the window). Applied a coat of waxoyl to the steel reinforcer that this panel covers, so as to avoid as much electrolytic corrosion as possible.
In the last hour of the day I started to strip the rearward lower panel of the entrance vestibule. This needed a few dents knocking out and will probably need further finishing. I need to have this ready for fitting before I can fit the rearmost window of the entrance vestibule.
