Merlin XX recovery from Halifax crash site

Hi all,

last week I post here a notice about the recovering of three Merlin XX engines from Halifax crash site.
(http://forum.keypublishing.co.uk/showthread.php?t=87493)

Now I need a overview of the code of part numbers, similar to the codes of Handley Page Hampden (B=Wing, C=Fuselage, ect.).
Could someone help ?

Regards
Nils

PS. I hope to can see and make a lot of photos of the engines next time

Hi Cees,

we are still waiting for the ok from disposal bomb team (they recovered the engines). On some engines they found 30lbs. bombs, so they must check the Merlins before we can clean it…

We have no aeral museum here. The next way is to document all the parts and the Merlin engine. I think we will held one of the Merlins and the other parts. My office must check what we do, because it must be a official way.

Hi Nils,

Very interesting, with four engines and perhaps a lot of wreckage, do you have any means to display the items recovered? Any plans for a museum in your area.

Keep it up.

Cheers
