VN R

There was a website related to the crash of ED 394 VN R – which crashed at Brampton in Cumbria in January 43. She was on a training mission and the home base in Lincolnshire was fogged in – so she tried to land at Carlisle. After failing the first approach she tried to go up for a second but did not have enough power. She crashed and slid for half a mile before hitting a small barn behind Kirkby Moor House and exploding. Some of the crew were blown free but most perished along with a large number of dogs and wedding presents stored in the barn.

The web site was there 12 months ago – but has lapsed. There were several ministry crash photos and details of the crew.

Westland Whirlwind (fighter)

As People have been talking about static and flying replicas – I thought I would add a replica panel — as we have just finished a Nose Art panel of a Westland Whirlwind.

The Tramore Flyer was flow by F.O. Harvey DFC of 263 Squadron and was lost in 43.

It is at 1:3 scale at 80 cm long.

This was a custom panel for a collector.
