Got an e-mail today from Daniel Hunt of Hunt Aircraft Recoveries, they’ve just taken delivery of an A20 Boston/Havoc which is aout 75% complete and will be sale as a complete project. A much closer to home alternative than the near airworthy one on Courtesy Aircraft, hopefully the RAF Museum is reading this *cough cough* 😉

I’d imagine so, they are currently researching the history of the aircraft. I really hope someone takes this project on, i’d love to see a complete Boston in the UK and would be a great exhibit

Is this one and the same as 41-19393 mentioned on their website?

Not sure what’s missing, i’ll e-mail them back and ask. Steve Milnthorpe who has the ex-Douglas Boston/Havoc UK Preservation Trust Havoc has, as well as the forward fuselage which he is keeping, the bit that was on ebay, an engine (think that was sold), part or all of a wing and a few other bits I think which he was selling so would no doubt be possible to build a complete Boston/Havoc, provided you had the money
