For HP 57

Thanks arm waver I will print the details off and paste them onto the rear of the frames.

Thanks for the information Arm Waver,

It’s really appreciated.

Really enjoy these old pictures…

Just in case anyone was interested in these aircraft details are as follows (according to what I’ve managed to find out):

G-AKEC HP.70 A.Mk.8 ex-PP282 c/n 1355. Registered 15 Aug ’47 Named “Air Voyager” of Lancashire Aircraft Corp. She was DBR when blown against G-AHDV at Squires Gate 17 Dec ’52. She once raced and came in 24th at an average 267mph. Race number 73.

F-BESE HP.70 A.Mk.8 ex-PP223 c/n 1307. Registered 10 Sep ’47 as G-AKGP “Ker Goaler” of Airtech. Registered F-BESE 15 Jun ’48 gaining French CofA 17 Aug ’48. Registered in France to Societe Anonyme de Navigation Aeriennes. She was finally scrapped at Blackbushe in 1950.

Just though someone might like to know…
OAW

I wonder if there is anything left in France after they scrapped the Halifaxes in the fifties? There must be at least parts surviving somewhere

Thats right Cees. I mean there has got to be a throttle quadrant lying in the bushes or being used as a door stop!

Thanks Peter,
Great pics, G-AKEC is a well-known airframe.

Looking at the French Hally, I wonder if there is anything left in France after they scrapped the Halifaxes in the fifties? There must be at least parts surviving somewhere 😮
