Post-War Halifaxe's

What happened to PP336? I think I remember reading about it losing an engine off the wing in flight and having to crash land… If it was somewhere out in the middle of nowhere, it could still be there.

HP81

A ground test installation, the name of the electrical company for which, escapes me at the moment.

Nice photos.

Here are a couple I bought from the ‘net.

F-BJCR, Ex-PP278 and G-AHVT Anglo-French Distributers Ltd 6/47. Then as F-BCJR Societe Auxiliarie de Navigation Aerienne (SANA) 9/47. Withdrawn from use and stored at Thame 1950, subsequently broken up.

ZS-BTA, Ex-PP336. Apparently it was once owned by His Highness the Maharajah Gaekwar of Baroda and converted to a Halton.

Interesting pictures. What is the story behind the Radlet wreck? Was it mocked up for a film, or a cancelled project?

Air racing Halifax, late 1940’s, possibly Kings Cup.

Radlett 1958

In 1961 I believe this was the very last Halifax structure above water.

And then they scrapped it.

Graham Trant managed to steer the nose to Skyfame and the rest is history.

Alex,

I don’t have access to a scanner at the moment, but there are some good books about the Halifax which also covers the post war periode (The Halifax file is a good example).

Here is a pic of a C Mk VIII
