Adrian,
That’s German, I am Dutch so you should have said: Ik ben een idioot:p

Hi Daz,
I have the movie on video and also never saw the “D-21’s”. There is no footage of the airwar of the Dutch against the evil Luftwaffe. Probably left on the cutting floor.

Is it possible to scan drawings in the care of IWM?
It would be nice see all Halifax drawings available next to
the Lancaster’s. A friend of mine has all the Lanc’s drawings
and is very enthusiastic about them even if a lot are difficult
to read or very dark.

Que?
Whitley?, you mean Elliott surely:D

Strange that with every restoration thread the wish is aired if the aircraft type under discussion will be made airworthy. As if that is the only standard the historic aviation scene is all about.
In general a lot of aircraft types are struggeling just to be preserved under cover, let alone getting a full restoration to static condtion such as IWM is doing for many years now. Worry about static restorations first. 🙁
We all know that it takes a lot of effort to finish these restorations and we all know that it’s not going to happen.
Wishful thinking? Oh yes !!!:eek:

Steve,
Yes, it is

Geoffrey Wikners Halifax III “Waltzing Mathilda” would have been a better choice. Pity they scrapped it.

Looks like in general that with projects such as this wings don’t seem to be much of a problem but the fuselage is.

There’s a big pond in the way in my case. How about a bridge between Holland and the UK?

That’s why a Botha should be brought back from extinction. There are several crashsites in the UK where substantial wreckage (wingsections) are still present.
Seems like I’m always in favour of the underdog, the Halifax excepted):p

What we need is a lawyer that knows the whole regestration/trademark law thing. Is the RAF still attempting to charge anyone who used their roundel? These are wide ranging issues that impact the whole of the historic aviation field. Does one have to have permission to publish the image of an aircraft? Must the RAF get a cut if a roundel is placed on an aircraft? A picture Published? A piece of art done? A toy/model made?
This sounds like the making for an ugly can of worms in which only the lawyers come out on top!
It’s already happening. Some model kits have a seal of approval by Boeing for using their “product”. Hasegawa or Tamiya boxes carry this seal on Mustang kits.
Cees
how did they get it to Holland, air or sea? Must have been quite a job, crash and smash were involved I assume?
By lorry, I guess the chunnel wasn’t ready yet at the time so a ferry would have been very convient.
