Well those parts are not going to degrade any time soon, a bit like Wind Turbine blades
You are welcome Dave, I knew I had seen it on Youtube. Great to revisit.
Regards
Its a long time ago Tom, I cannot really recall, but, I remember the French and not the Red Arrows
Exciting times Geoff. It would make great sense to have his Lancaster rebuilt here in England while all the knowledge and Jigs are in place.
KW has limited space now and the big airframes would need a home.
I am guessing EK have been in contact for swap parts for JJ. I would think finding the French parts must be hugely cheaper shipping to the UK than from the USA, Brexit or no Brexit.
FKA TA
Was there not two Box, Nort at North Weald, definiately one flew out, I was there but I cannot for the life of me remember what, twin boom, and possibly it was red
ahhh, yes, Noratlas, struggled to get out of ground effect.
you are correct, cheers Adrian. It was a long time ago
For some reason I always thought the other C-54 flew out but I was obviously mixed up with the Boxcar

Photo Credit, not mine but happy to credit if we know
But not to stay. but you are correct 🙂
wet fuels not going anywhere soon.
Im guessing they would like to test fly it here before shipping back. possibly means it will drop in to Duxford as most of Air-Leasings test flights do.
gona need some long extention lead
Now were talking, that bomb bay will look super.
Well done, one and all
I did hear this was possibly happening, knowing a former worker on the aircraft I had pointed him to the great work at East Kirkby and rebuilding wings to a taxiable condition, he realised it was never going to fly again.
How long has it been at north Weald outside? It must be over 20 years and obviously there was a second one.
it is very sad to see, but, what is it worth as it stands?
how much to try and transport it elsewhere?
Who and where would be happy to take it on?
We’ve had the best of everything.
The world will one day realise they messed up big time but it will all be far too late.
