There’s nothing to salvage – it’s been a pile of rotting junk for years now. If the owner seriously expects so much as a penny for it then he’s kidding himself!
Newark has asked for it but been turned down so it looks like it’s off for the scrapper & he will get a lot more pennies for it.
Still a shame but if you lot want it why not go and knock on his door and ask for yourselves you won’t get anywhere commenting on here.!
Which one?
Kb965 the one in the photo.
No it cannot be touched like it said on the original post on the other forum.
But can you protect it like the canopy you wanted for the other one?
. It is considered a war grave your correct there. So you can’t touch it peter or can you with help?
But what about the rest peter thats twisted and bent it’s scrap im afraid.
There is nothing more than i would like to see than a squadron of lancs taking on duxford for the flying legends you have one in canada and possibly another just jane to the sky here in the uk were in my opinion were they belong!
While your at it dig out the rest, but it may happen but i won’t hold my breath.
I like these aircraft but a time comes when scrap is just that. unless you can work wonders can you peter?
Top quality the list is endless.
Sorry but if your so against historic aircraft remains then maybe this isn’t the forum for you? Just a thought.
No peter im not, is this not a war grave? im not sure if you can touch it?
But as it sits it’s scrap unless you do something with it similar to i said in the other post.
Plenty in museums to look at & you have got the flying example in your homeland just like we have.
Come on peter what do you want to do with most of this lot just lock it away or preserve it or make something of it? the heavily bent and twisted is just scrap is it not?
Nice one phillip hope you get your way………………
Yes more lancaster scrap but im sure there is more parts available there than another i commented on.!
Before you lot start to sulk with my comments that engine looks like parts available for reserection plus many more so crack on preserve them.!
The cold weather looks like they have lasted much longer?
He’s acheived what many will just dream about! any cannons fitted?
Those photos say it all – there’s nothing left to save, it’s just a pile of scrap which looks vaguely like a Lightning!
Come on you lot if you really want this aircraft stick your hands deep in your pocket and buy it!
The owner will sell it at a cost he’s not stupid and going to give it away, yes it’s scrap just like many others but if you can do something with this then get your cash out and buy it.
Im sure it’s worth more complete than just hacking off the cockpit?
Very nice photo’s from the other forum.
Very interesting and back on next week with a trip to the camp so will watch that. Thanks.
Very interesting clip will watch tonight thanks for the information.
All the brave soles who never came home…..
whats the horsepower of this one? the comparable locomotive size wise with that setup here is 4000 to 4350 on horsepower.. what does it use for train brakes? we use air pressure set at 90 psi in the brake pipe and make reductions to apply the brakes. also the engine brakes are independant of the train brake but can be blended with the application of the train brake unless you chose to bail the engine brake off. sorry for the dumb questions. although there are similarities there are huge differences.
robert
HST class 43 the brake pressure is 10 bar the DMU diesel mutiple units run at 7 bar on the main res but the brake pressure is in stages 1,2,3 & emergency.
Step 3 is approx 3.2 bar, brakes run on blocks running on the wheels or brake discs & pads like that fitted to a car but much much bigger!
