    I’m not sure of dates (mid nineties maybe), but I am sure when Spitfire V BL614’s restoration was finished, and before it was put on display in Hendon, AB910 and MH434 where on display next to her. Only thing is I think at this time MH434 was marked as SZ-G.

    Is Kermit Weeks still the owner of Lancaster KB976? If so are there any plans to restore and put it on display?

    Apologies, didn’t mean to cause offence, I am actually a great admirer of YAM and what they achieved with their Halifax

    The cockpit looks amazing. Maybe you could advise the Yorkshire Air Museum on how to manufacture some authentic forward fuselage frames for their Halifax to replace the wooden ones!

    I’ve never understood how anyone could class it as a replica. It has (I think) 30 feet of original Halifax fuselage, which probably make’s it more original than some airworthy warbirds.

    Two Halifax projects? I’d heard for the serach for LW170, is this one of them?

    Just back to the Halifax, to be honest I would like the nose of PN323 to go to the YAM, and the new build nose go to IWM to act as a walkthrough exhibit.

    I do believe the nose of PN323 is an important exhibit, and personally would prefer to see it on the front of a hybrid Halifax rather than having members of the general public walk through it. Just my opinion.

    I realise the chances of PN323 ever leaving the IWM are nil, so I’m just always hoping that some more components of a Halifax will turn up in a lake, or someone’s garage, and end up at YAM. You never know
