Yep its very impractical which is kinda sad in my book. The wings would need to come off or else simply demolish a side of the hangar !

Good to see she still has some life in her.. I remember when they used to do regular runs and then stopped running the port engine due possible issues on that side??

I had heard that as well, and may well still be the case, but Ash Briggs and myself rotated the props a few weeks back and saw no issues, and the prop turned over (in error) yesterday as well. Guess the real problem would not become apparent until it was really fired up so we are lucky in that regard to at least turn them over

As far as I know it is the only one capable of this. Would be nice to go full and run the engines but being indoors it would probably blow all the other aircraft thru the hangar wall. There is also the issue of leaks, due to lack of ongoing maintenance we spotted the hydraulic reservoir leaking above the nav station and also oil dripping thru the port undercarriage system. Not to worry, we will so some work on her soon, I certainly had goosebumps being so close to this taking place (and of course being my fave aircraft too)

Given the volume of Beaufort / Beaufighter bits out of the shed I would love to think so. My original hope was perhaps something from the abandoned CA-4 / CA-11 Woomera again of which numerous parts were in the shed, but knowing how much I love and collect Beau bits thats just as good for me !
