What happened to the dozens of Typhoon firewalls that were dug up?

There is another pic of the Halifax cockpit remains on the web and taken from the other side and it mostly represents the pilot’s chassis, seat, rudderpedals, control column and lower part of the throttle box. A very nice piece that would do very well next to W1048 as this aircraft also took part in the Tirpitz raids.

Forget W1048, Since she was recovered we had NA337 fully restored now and HR792 at Elvington as well as the cockpit of PN323. So the Halifax is better represented nowadays.
The Short 184 is another matter as well as the Buffalo.
What would be their condition at the end of this century. Are we being selfish or do we have to preserve/restore for the future?

The issue is simply muddling conservation with restoration. They’re two different things.

A properly conserved artefact should be as stable as a properly restored one, all other things being equal.

Like restoration to static or airworthy condition, each requires a different path to a different result, correct for one, but not the other.

I could go on. 😉

Because of its recovered originality through a pioneering work of ‘paintwork archaeology’ the FAA Museum’s Corsair is probably one of the most important aircraft in preservation, acting as an unadulterated, full-provenanced historical document in itself.

HTH.

Thanks James,

Very interesting links.
There are some very interesting views in this topic as well, go on.:rolleyes:

Wasn’t commonality of aircraft spares while on Russion soil one reason for choosing the Yaks? Apart from that it was a very good fighter too.
Interesting question.

Weren’t these instruments produced in North America (meaning US and Canada) to be fitted to Lancaster X’s together with the different radio set up and dorsal turret. Isn’t that the reason for the different Mark designation.
I would think that that is also the most likely area to find them.
Just a hunch.

Don’t think these engines are as rare as hen’s teeth. They were used
for all kinds of things in the US after the war, so there can be many still
lurking even all over the globe.
About ten years ago an almost brand new looking Allison was on display at the then museum based at Twenthe. It was said to be on loan from the Millitary Aircraft Museum at Soesterberg. The museum at Twenthe has gone now and the engine probably returned in storage at Soesterberg. The only remains of the Dutch P40’s I would think. Wonder what happened to the plans to recover the EX Dutch P40 in Indonesia.

Not Lancasters but Halifax NA337 has lost a large amount of original skin,
not that it was possible to save those skinpanels, sacrifices will have to be made. Originality is something of recent years.:rolleyes:

Perhaps Aeroplane bashing can be moved to general discussion?
Not very appropriate on an FlyPast forum. I am a great fan of
Aeroplane and it has it’s good and bad points but so has FlyPast.:cool:

DK116, a lot of it still on site. I have part of the control column incorporated into my project, and other parts are scattered around the UK possibly. The dorsal turret is on show at Elvington. It would be nice to see what’s still left there that can perhaps be put to good use. I drove near Kielder in 2006 but had to catch the ferry so couldn’t stop 😮
