Really, take the time to check out those picture galleries, some fantastic and rare shots there.

Just to update this reference to my KB976 website, I have just added another 300 pictures to the site, so its a bit more thorough now.

That Woodford collapse was a tragedy, mainly for those who died, but such a blow to lose an airframe in what would have seemed the safest of environments was a cruel twist.

Picture here, from Aviation North West.

There’s another 600+ pictures of Lacnaster KB976 before, during and after the Woodford Hangar collapse disaster here

Its a little perplexing .In Canada the nose shown on end appears to be the full length article -by the time it appears in Dick Riachrdson’s garden the 40 inch extension piece seems to have been removed but subsequently that part has either been fabricated or refitted before fitment back onto ‘KB976’ at Brooklands.

The 40 inch extension would have been removed when the long nose from KB976 was fitted to the fuselage of KB994, during a period in the mid-1980s when RCAF 408 Squadron started to reconstruct KB994 as one of their own Lancasters in Canada. There are some pictures of the joined KB994 fuselage / KB976 nose on the website too.

On the page http://www.timefadesaway.co.uk/strathallan/kb976/kb_976_9.html you can see the arrival of the nose with KB994’s fuselage from Canada. It does appear to be missing the “40 inch extension” you refer to.

Having given myself a headache trying to piece together the complicated story of Lancaster KB976, I have put together a few pages on the web attempting to avoid this headache for other people. If anyone wishes to correct or add to this please contact me via the website. I hope you find it useful and interesting.

I am very grateful to everyone who provided help and photographs for the site.
