Is that the same one that he claimed to have buried because it was potentially dangerous to it’s pilot?

And it is not even a turret, but a cupola.

The Emil restoration is currently subject to a multi part article in Flugzeug Classic. Fantastic what they are doing.

IIRC he had two ex-jugoslav 109’s. Which later went to the US for restoration (which was carried out regardless of authenticity).

This is not facebook, otherwise this forum would be superfluous.

Here is my original Halifax control column and wheel. It came from Germany and originally it was the co-pilot’s set up with the massive triangular levers with one larg hole in it (such as PN323 has). So came from a dual control Hally, perhaps used in the Berlin Air Lift? Maybe even from a Halton?
I got the Hastings brake levers from ebay and modified the control wheel to Halifax specs. The bottom horzontal attachement had to be reversed and re-engineerd using parts from DK116 (Kielder forest) which I got from Ian Foster of 57Resuce at the time, as well as measurements from Air Ministry (Alan).

48/49, I got stooped by the A5M which had US-style stripes on the rudder and looked like a Vultee type. Oh well.
The photo of the P-43 Lancer was a joke, same as the Typhoon.:D

Well, it’s a fantastic location and building, but the state of maintenance leaves a lot to be desired. There is a (new?) exhibition on the first floor of the army part which looks fantastic and it seems a lot of funding has been spent on it. Wall to wall display cabinets with uniforms and weapons, but after the third or fourth you have seen them all. The Whitley rear fuselage recreation was a highlight. In one of the pics in this thread you can see the FN4 in front of the Battle.
While walking around the thought that the money could perhaps have been spent on the aviation hall or structure never left me.

When I first visited the museum in 2003 the Battle was in the same condition with panels off. But apart from the Mosquito and the Bolilngbroke in that area of the museum the Spit IX and Hurricane stand on flat tyres including the tailwheels.

I thought this was the former Charles Church example?

Any change in the current situation of the cockpit of Halifax PN323?
