Martin,

I thought that the (or a) Halifax had been recovered as well?
So there could be more………….

Looks like the fuselage of the Heinkel He-111 project that has been for sale in Austria for some time. I remember seeing a photograph in FLugzeug Classic recentely. Apparently most of the fuselage was recovered from Norway (engine and tail still at Duxford) in the seventies and the nose section is from a Spanish example that came from the UK.

Peter, Dave

Well, I know what was recovered and have some pics showing what was recovered. But as these pics were provided to me personally by the Stirling Project I do not wish to impose on their kindness. I’m sure all will be told in the next newsletter or at their site.

At least the parts are now in good hands and something useful will be done to them.

Cheers

Hey – i’m not complaining :p

I thought you would have had a copy already Cees?? Is this not so?

Cheers

Hi Elliott,

Well, I could imagine that you weren’t complaining and rightly so from the vendors point of view. :rolleyes:

I do have an original C Mk VIII manual and an original Halifax repair manual but as the C Mk VIII is the transport version I was interested in the Mk VI (bomber) manual even if it was a copy. But as the bidding started to take off I was beginning to wonder if people were thinking it was an original so I have read the caption “a copy in good condition” many times. Hmmm…

Cheers

Peter,

Try AeroTrader in the US, they also manufacture new blown cupolas for the Martin SC250 turret.

Would look wrong on a Lanc though, ANY Lanc!!!! :diablo:

Yes, thats why we are moving the hangar around – we are laying the wing down so we can build the leading and trailing edges.

Bruce

Thanks Bruce,

If you ever want to re-unite one of TA122’s undercarriage assemblies with the airframe, it’s on display in our museum on loan from the Aviodrome. It is in excellent condition although one side has been cut away to reveal the rubber shock absorbers.

What’s the status on the wing rebuild for TA122? Any progress.

Mmm similar story to the serious project to hijack a Fw190 from a French base in 1942 by Jeffrey Quill. Fortunately Arnim Faber mistook the Bristol Channel for the English one and landed his combat ready Fw190 at Pembrey. Jeffrey Quill was quite relieved when he heared the news. Read it in his biography: Sptifire, a test pilot’s story.

Magnificent stuff

Elliott,

I noticed, you have been very busy indeed. 😀

The circular parts in the second photograph seem to be part of the fuel selector cocks as fitted in the Spitfire.

I have one and it is signed by Mr Rudhall himself. Only found out on the way back to London after having it bought at the IWM shop at Dudford.
