at least it doesnt look a badly made toy plane like some scale replicas do. This is pretty impressive, must have taken a lot of hard work,

thanks for sharing Dazdaman

arn’t those converted harvards more likely to be harbolts than harpoons, they do look more like early mark razorback p47s than typhoons.

– the wallis island lanc is not under restoration in France for the Le Bourget Museum. A group called Ailes Anciennes are retsoring it.

-Just Jane is the one at East Kirkby, yes.

– The one brought to Strathallan is KB976, it is now in the US with Kermit Weeks, in the long term it may be restored to flying condition. It was under restoration in the uk years ago when a hanger roof collapsed on it (woodford?) and damaged the rear fuselage quite badly.

– The two flying lancasters are the BBMF Lancaster, pa474 at raf coningsby in lincolnshire and the canadian warplane heritage lancaster fm213, in Hamilton, Ontario.

Not really people in the aviation scene but id thank Director Michael Anderson, Michael Redgrave, Richard Todd etc for making the Dambusters which directly got me interested in Aviation years ago. Particularly lancasters.

Also a thanks to the BBMF groundcrew and pilots!
