Mmmm, I was told by someone in the know that an awfully large amount of original structure was discarded to be replaced by new metal. Now I can understand regarding the aircraft’s structural integrety. But it was all dumped in the bin although some panels were used to paint nose-art on it and these were available. I would have loved to get some cockpit panelling however pitted to use in my project. Ah well, we cannot have it all. Perhaps with the LW170 restoration……………
As I recall there have been some wrecks found the past few decades such as a Beaufighter, a Brigand, a Vampire and some more. These are just off the top of my head.
Here are some more piccies of the move care of Eric Dumigan. If Karl Kjarsgaard has his way then another Halifax will join the restoration que, this time for the Nanton Museum. I hope he succeeds.
This is a treasure trove, but on the other hand shows the situation regarding the Blenheim/Bolingbroke again. Full marks for Graham Warner and his team in giving more publicity to this very important and goodlooking aircraft. It really deserves it.
