Isn’t that the one at the Berlin museum?

The Mk 21 was used operationally by the way.

Beaufighter VI can you inform us about the future plans for TFC’s 22?

I hope my HK Models Lancaster will look like that someday.

I can certainly recommend it, I did it last year and it gave me goosebumps (from excitement :D). Especially the two splash and go’s on the IJsselmeer.

And your set of wings too?:rolleyes:

Indeed, the American way should be the only way. We were recently informed by the local authorities in the province of Friesland that our request to have Lancaster ED603 recovered has been rejected. Their excuse was the usual RNethAF propaganda (wargrave, respect etc.) but the real reason is (as always): money. There are three officially missing crewmembers still in the wreckage. If it was an American aircraft the result would be much different.

But we are straying off the intended path.

Restoring a set of series 20 wings would be feasible but reconstructing a new set when
a certain project doesn’t come with any? Are drawings available?

Indeed, most logical. I was thinking the (too) easy way:)

That would be the easy option if a pair of wings were to be found. New built Spitfire XIV fuselage is no problem if funding is no question.

Being a Seafire she is designed for hard landings.

If it had been from a dig you would have gotten it in as a heap of powder in a plastic bag. That is if it was made of magnesium.

Yes unfortunately, recently re-read the book about the restoration and demise of PK350.

Speaking about TFC. They have been flying the wonderful low back Mk XIV for many years, so what’s the difference regarding the Spit 22. It uses the same engine
and has a larger tail so should be more stable to fly (not being an engineer mind you).

Good news!

Nice progress John,
The Lorenz gauge in the Halifax has a very complicated mounting as well with a dozen or so springs and a rubber ring
to dampen vibration. I was lucky to find one complete.

Unfortunatly the replica in the Netherlands is dismantled and in storage again. The new museum likes tanks etc. more than aeroplanes.
