Hi Laurent,

Yes, that’s the one. When seing the amazing photograph of an engine with prop and top cowling sticking out of the water, one is bound to want to know what happened to the rest as it was mentioned that the recovery wasn’t completed I think.

Very very inspiring work you are doing there.

Cheers

Laurent,

Any news on the other Lancaster recovery in France? The one where some very complete engines were recovered.

Cheers

There are plenty of experts on the forum. And as my mechanic is so fond of telling me, “an expert is just a regular guy who’s at least 400 miles from home”

You can’t please everyone, but I feel the vast majority truly appreciate the effort, expense and love that goes into restoring and maintaining a vintage aircraft.

Steve and Mike,

They really do, about 99 % really admire and appreciate what you are doing.
You know what hard work it is to keep those birds in the air where they belong and if they don’t have the correct BSF bolts, then so be it 😉 . That doesn’t make it a lesser achievement.

Cheers

I agree that we should appreciate the fact that we have these (3) Halifaxs for future generations to see.

There is a Halifax cockpit PN323 on distance in the UK also..but does anyone know of any other signifant Halifax sections in existance in the World.

If you would call them substantial, there are bits and pieces which are (or were) in the Netherlands. A complete dismantled propeller was picked up by me in November 2003 and brought to the UK in the care of 57Rescue, if all went according to plan they must be at Trenton by now. The undercarriage leg I have posted before on this forum will remain in the farmyard as the owner doesn’t want to give it up (I asked). There is a large section of rear wing centre spar that has been lying in the woods behind a local museum in the east of the Netherlands, but that has corroded away badly. I tried to post pics but there seems to be a problem at the moment with uploading photo’s.

There are substantial sections of Halifax underwater or isolated areas (Pakistan would be nice) but only time will tell.

Cheers

I’m going to get there to see her.
It won’t be this year as this year is already fully booked but I will get there.
It’s a truly wonderful piece of workmanship.
Well done to all concerned.
Do I get a beer too?
Later
Andy.

Here you are…………..

You have a very interesting site. Do you collect surface fragments or do you carry out full scale recoveries?

Cheers

Hi TT,

Thanks for the offer but they differ substantially from the Halifax rudder pedals. I am having a new set made from drawings.

But thanks for thinking of me.

Is this BR601?

Taken off the gate, exported to the UK, sold to Doug Arnold and via D1ck Melton exported to the US, and resting to be awoken again in the hopefully not too distant future?

The below is from a Lancaster addict….
This project is a credit to your efforts, Its a shame some of the major organisations this side of the pond cant turn out this sort of restoration.
keep up the good work. One day I may even get over to see it with my own eyes.

Give that man a beer!

I wholly and totally agree (but I’m biased of course). When the outer engines are hung and the undercarriage fitted it would even more magnificent. Now where are those tins of Humbrol black, dark green and dark earth. 😀
