Hi Andrew
Yes she gonna get a repaint she is staying in cammo but going back into the markings she had on 5 sqd
Scott C
I belive that the repaint was a bit of a rush job to get it ready for RAIT im sure that something would have been done to the undercariage if they had had the time
Scott C
I dont meen to be picky but this will be the only completly original halifax in the world i would include the halifax at elvington as a halifax as in is mainly a composite of various halifax parts.
Scott C
i dont think the owner has a proper intake blank all the pics ive seen in the past has the fod cover on insted
Scott C
I have seen the pics and she looks great after her repaint be nice if she is on display to the public
Scott C
Ok so as most of the people on this thred seem to know what is going on at duxford what is happening to the Mk 1 Victor this being to only surviving Mk 1 someting must be done to save it and soon. I had heard that museum members were working on it but i dont know if this is true.
Any more info anyone
Please save this aircraft
Scott C
Ok her are a few answers
The rear fuselage has been at doncaster for a couple of months
It did come from skysports and was used in night flight
It didnt go to florida with the rest of the aircraft because it was too badly damaged by the hanger colapse and the rear fuselarge from the lincoln is to be used insted.

The p-38 under the ice is glacer girl and she is now flying in the US so no rumor there its TRUE.
Scott c
P.S. It looks nice too
Lightning dose look good shame its an F.53 and not a uk lightning. Ant you want to have a go at dismantaling a lightning properly its great fun (not).
Scott c
Now thats what i call a proper aeroplane
Scott c
My F.3 is a former LTF aircraft but i dont recall seeing a LTF F.6 in green/grey camo only in grey
Scott C
I dont think the experiance side of things makes a differance ive worked on the victor at elvington for a couple of years with guys who worked on them in the RAF and you learna hell of a lot from them.
Scott C
if that happens maybe someone should have a word with Mr Branson he could have a vulcan insted of a concord
scott c
Ahhh yes the old iron triangle
i do have a soft spot for the victor as well but also like vampire and a f-86/mig-15 duo would be nice
