    Looks pre-war to me, Felixstowe flying boat? Fokker aircraft of the time (Fokker Ten as built under license by Avro>) also had similar control wheels.

    Yes please show more photographs of this very interesting investigation.
    Has the aircraft gone in straight into the ground or has it exploded?
    Cheers

    The yellow Bolingbroke fuselage is IWM’s example isn’t it? This has been under restoration for many years IIRC. I saw it about six years ago in this condition, but it is good to see an example being restored to display standard

    Mark,

    The Halifax and Hastings centre sections are identical, it’s the intermediate wingsections that are wider than the Halifax’. The section over the centresection of the Halifax was called the covered waggon, not on the Lancaster. Nice thread by the way, keep it up.

    Cheers

    A pic showing where the pilot’s seat is to be fitted. We are concentrating on the various frames which looks like we’re making aluminium bananas, but in a few weeks time all the frames should be finished and then the fun really starts..

    Not much but the diagonal struts are finished and fitted now, these are also used to mount the two armour glass windows.

    Any drawings he is using or is this a look alike (if it is , it’s an incredibly excellent one)

    People like him who pursue dreams into reality are rare.

    Peter,

    Where is that instrument panel now?

    This would make a nice recovery training for the RCAF, This is indeed only the third York remaining and with a Canadian history. Perhaps something for Trenton? If they can reconstruct a Halifax then the Avro must be a breeze.
    I always wonder why these wrecks are still out there, get it out fast (of course it takes time to organise an expedition and funding but other than that……..:rolleyes:)
    Cheers

    And the newly reconstructed fuselage of “Kiwi II” was having the final skins attached a couple of weeks ago ready for dispatch to it’s owner …

    Any pics? I just love to see Spitfires during various stages of construction (no provenance queries please:))

    Peter,

    I am surprised to see that something from a Seafang is still around,
    what’s the story about it’s preservation?

    Cheers

    Hi there,

    Is it made from brass? Could it be part of the cooling system.

    Just a hunch.
    Thanks for posting.
    Cheers
