From memory, I used to have a copy of “After the Battle” magazine which had an article on this film. The 110 was a captured one which after the war had been on a scrap heap and used for this film propped up on a wooden structure. Afterwards it was scrapped. Not the RAF Museums example, perhaps Tangmere can confirm this. The article also dealt with the loan of the Portuguese Hurricanes as well as the special effects used in the film.

If they are Stirling we have 2 tail legs which are crying out for them:D:D

And the tailwheel which I gave to Pino then some years ago?
Cheers

Of course anyone is interested!
Cees
Stirling?
Not on Halifaxes, perhaps early ones

The dished object with the studs was used in the Halifax to mount the oxygen cilinders upright in the oxygen crate in the port side of the flight engineers position, don’t know if it was used in other aircraft as well.

Ok back on topic,
It would be great to see the restoration of EN224 finished in a few years time.
Is there full compatibility between the Seafire XV and the Mk XII Spit?
With XV PR503 hopefully flying soon the number of short Griffons flying are increasing, will there be enough spares to keep EN224 operating?
Cheers
And how are the Haltons/Halifaxes going to be represented?

See here for pics of EN199 during her career (keep your tissues handy)

Don’t think it ended up in the lake in the middle of The Netherlands or you must have hated it;)

When I visited bristol a decade ago there was “Sealife” with a large scale mocked up B17 wreck among the sharks

No pics about showing aircraft in French scrapyards (Halifaxes, Seafires other than PP972, Privateers, etc)?

It would be nice if that stamp is indeed from an Austin Motors built Stirling.
So any confirmation would be great.

Here it is.:p
