Looks like the style of the indiviual letter is similar to the one on the RAF Museums example now at Cosford. Great job by the way. Looks like the early marks are making a comeback.

So when FlugWerk announced several years ago that a bach of DB’s had been found in the east, this was rubbish?
I thought FW were also involved with building new 109 airframes?

Never seen pics of the Pakistani Halifaxes before either. Thanks for the link.
How were these aiframes disposed off, were they that thorough while neighbouring countries have massive scrapyards containing biplanes from the thirties. Strange world. No bits surviving? No wheels, engines, pieces of airfrrame.
Cheers
Cees
Amazing pics, thanks for posting. What a sight.
Pity about the scrapping but at the time this was considere unsuitable for restoration, how times have changed.
Cheers
Cees
Thanks Steve,
Yes, this is an exciting project and we all hope it will result
in another complete restoration. Canada must still hold
many wrecksites don’t you think?
Do drawings for the Strannie survive?
Cheers
Cees
Funny that Flypast reported on the Stranraer recovery as having taken place recentely. IIRC this was reported in flypast during the eighties including the same photograph.
Even old news is news I think
How are they going to tackle the rebuild, any plans available?
Cheers
Cees
Any piccies would be nice, the rear fuselage of the Marauder looked impressive, I thought that it was on show at the Rebel Air Museum but that is old news probably.
Cheers
Cees
Warped fuselage taken care of?
Cees
Looks American made to me similar to early Mustangs?
Cees
Thanks fellas, well my folks are Scots, so I guess Im in there somewhere eh? the boys said they could use a couple more econos, Cees I hate to tell you but I sat in the pilots seat for about 15 minutes! quite an experience for sure. Ross thanks again for your generousity, hope those fuel***** work to your liking, and yes funny how individual people can meet the needs of others when called upon, all the best Darrell
Hi Darrell,
Well, I have sat in the pilots seat many times as well but it’s lacking a fuselage at the moment (matter of time):)
I have said before and will say it again that the participants on this forum have helped the various projects and we all benefit from it.
How about a list of missing items that NA337 still needs? Contact me about the shipping details for the economizer and I will make sure it’s sent over.
Cheers
Cees
Ross,
So basically the Scotts and Dutch are the same.
If another one is needed for NA337, you know where to find me. Shipping is on me as well.
Cheers
Cees
Well done to all,
Ehmm Ross, did that include the economizer you acquired from me recently?:cool:;):D:diablo:
If so I would have donated it instead of selling 🙂
By the way, I have still one left……:rolleyes:
Cheers
Cees
Peter,
What about the aircraft’s systems such as fuel, electrical, hydraulic (if present) do you have information about those as well or will you use contempary aircraft as a template?
Cheers
Cees
Now that would be nice project to find out instead of talking about it.:rolleyes:
Cheers
