I agree David,

I am probably influence by the three dvd I saw yesterday about NX611 at East Kirkby and the work the Panton Brothers did to her.

Thanks Cees

I’m surprised you never started a halifax turret – there must be plenty of bits around in Holland?

Well, yes …bits that would be the best way to describe it.
We have a Stirling tailturret in good condition that was recovered from a lake. That would be the best way to find a reasonably complete turret project on the continent. Two years ago I was offered a Halifax type E tailturret (thanks again for thinking of me, you know who you are 😉 ) in very good condition for a good price but as we had just bought our currect house, cash was the problem. Pity, as I think a turret is a fantastic piece of machinery. The Military Aircraft Museum at Soesterberg has a FN 5 turret in excellent condition but they are doing nothing with it and sits in storage.

Pity about that Lancaster rear fuselage, that could be put to better use IMHO.

Wow Elliott, that”s looking great already.

Keep it up

Although some parts for the floor (including the driveshaft mounting) were made. The RR historical society published a book about this very interesting project. I have a copy somewhere, but where…….:confused:

That would be one to look out,

Thanks Linzee,

Blij dat te horen:)

Definitely an oil cooler. It looks like the Halifax type that goes between the two circular coolant radiators. They are certainly elliptical in shape.

I agree about that one too Peter
The later Halifaxes used Morris block radiators. Before that these were
in fashion. We recovered on from Mk II JB803.
