Indeed they have.
I was lucky to meet Birger Larsen some years ago. When I asked him where he got the spares for the Ju88’s he told me they knew over 60 high ground wrecks. When I asked him if he knew a further Halifax he got a very strange look:D

And with another one to follow, a Mk I, at the moment still hanging on the wall of the Bigging Hill hangar?
Fantastic that this is possible outside the UK or USA.

I’m all for it, just being realistic.
Funding could perhaps be better spent on the Halifax reconstruction already advanced by Karl Kjarsgaard and friends.
Really? I saw it in 2009 when it was still being worked on. After the museum had to close nothing has been done to it. If it is a problem to continue a static restoration I cannot see (but hope to be proven wrong) an airworthy restoration taking place. The Lanc isn’t a rare beast in Canada.
Funding comes to mind.

The most difficult aircraft to identify. Process of elimination would be the best thing to do. What type engines, props, tailwheelfork, guns etc.
But very interesting nonetheless.

I’m in favour of shipping the Halifax 1048 to Canada for restoration, better than leaving it in the present condition. When I visited Hendon on april 1st (by coincidence) it left me depressed instead of impressed as I had always been before.
