    I heard some unkind stories about the restoration being done to a low standard, but the pics show otherwise.
    What’s the ultimate goal, fully restored with complete wings?
    Or is the fibreglass suggestion true?

    Tony,

    That looks great, the cockpit is coming up nicely.
    Amazing what the forumites here are doing.

    Perhaps something similar as East Kirkby could be established. A taxying B17 would be more of a crowd puller instead of a static example.

    If she would be finished in a training scheme instead of a B Mk X she left the factory as, the RAFM would alienate the majority of the visitors IMHO. Only a small group would be interested in the trainer version.

    No sign of any partnumbers? Seems like one corner has broke off.

    The Grand Slam version of the Tamiya Lanc has electric motors to spin the props.

    Bit difficult that one.

    For instance, I am 43 now and hope to have a long and happy life. Suppose I make it to 100 years that’s 57 years from now. What would the current state of the aviation musea then be and more imporantly are the people of that era still interested in old aeroplanes or will the F16 be the new Spitfire/Mustang?
    What would have happened to the wrecks that were so carefully preserved a long time ago (Short 184, Halifax,Betty etc.), scrapped, fully restored. :rolleyes:?????
    Interesting subject, mind boggling but interesting.

    And scrapping the “budgie perch” too while they are busy working on her?

    And Spitfire AB307 of which the engine and prop were recovered from a lake. Nothing more down there?

    Thanks for the input chaps,

    No, that’s not the case but better be safe than sorry.

    I wonder what’s the case with recovered aircraft that are being restored,
    and where a lot of money is involved.

    Spitfire BL370 comes to mind, wasn’t there a dispute about the ownership.

    Cheers

    The nose fairing is in storage at Stafford so that could be displayed together with the finished restoration to show part of it’s history.

    According to the RAFM website It was built as a B X and later converted to T X standard retaining the bombdoors and tailturret. So the only sensible thing to do is to keep it as it is, a genuine B X. Flying it? Come on…..

    Here’s ours, not much to look at as it has been trawled from the North Sea
    but it’s a Vulture.
