I did have a look through my books when you first posted this request Old Towzer. Had a second look but still no joy other than a colour plate of RM617 in the Osprey book on No.91 Squadron. It does mention that very few photos of their Mk XIVs have come to light.
Fair enough, Rich. Very sad but it sounds like it was pretty terminal for the poor old girl anyway All credit to Mr Love he’s certainly stuck with his “mad thoughts”!
I do think the Viking is worthy of saving in its own right and it’s a pity to lose an example of an early post-war airliner in order to construct a replica. I wouldn’t say the same about the Halifax as the Hastings was a fire-dump example, wasn’t it? Anyway, it sounds a done deal so, like FLY.BUY, I can only hope that the cockpit section will be saved.
A chap by the name of Barry Love has long been trying to get parts together to rebuild/recreate a Wellington
I was especially thinking of all those long-gone airline schemes it could sport, AA. Maybe not authentic to that individual aircraft but certainly to the type – Autair, BKS, Eagle, Hunting Clan, etc, etc
