No, I am not bringing the subject of W1048 up again:p
Although it could use some ….. whoa! the evil left arm again,
it has a mind of it’s own…….

There are of course more aircraft that need some TLC at Hendon
since most of them are on display since the early seventies.
How about some lottery money to farm out more airframes to
several shops, that would speed up things.

Well, where there’s smoke, there’s fire, look at the Hampden tht
came out from Russia which nobody had expected and some later
even more bits from one. I had always a thought that the Russians
would sell the wrecks first before the really good airframes were
brought out. There’s still that rumour about a hangar full of German
aircraft which Soviet ace Kozedub enjoyed to show some selected
parties, if it’s only a rumour? Time will tell but even if there are
substantial remains of a Stirling over there this will be the find of
the decade.

Fingers crossed

Cheers

Let’s hope it finds a good home and be treated like it should (if possible in a high profile collection hmmm)

Hi Nick,

Don’t know the exact location but I got two pics showing the very stubstantial centresection of wings and fuselage and tail. The very complete throttle box is on show at the local museum.

Could you post your pics?

Cheers

What more could be lurking in the vast French wooded areas and mountains, perhaps a substantail wreck on a hillside? I have seen pics of a very substantial Halifax wreck, so there could be more, even more when you think that the Stirling could not fly over the Alps or other mountain ranges, but had to fly around the highest peaks.

And what about the tons of wreckage from the lancaster recovered
from Holland several years ago, still in their RNethAF crates?

There were more references to the workmanship of the various Doug Arnold restorations, what caused this? Couldn’t be money could it? AFAIK very experienced people were involved with the collection.

That would be the recovery of the decade (perhaps century), would be nice if an investigation on site was to be executed.
Imagine several wingless Stirling fuselages lying side by side:eek:

In the National Archives at Kew there is a file with a fold out blueprint showing the cannon configuration as shown in the first pic. Can’t remember the file though. I had to put on the nice white gloves to be able to touch it.

IIRC a lot of Handley Page windtunnel models ended up with YAM at Elvington, can anyone confirm this?

Rob,

Didn’t you once tell me that the parts of the Victor weren’t interchangable between different airframes?

And what about crashsites then, during the eighties the wreck of a Supermarine Stranraer was recovered from an inlet, so there must be more wartime crashsites around. anyone investigating these sites
