Regarding the topic I had to chime in.
IIRC there are some pics in the latest edition of the book From hell to victory and beyond.
When I saw the header I thought this was in the same class as the secret steam powered Halifaxes.
Steady now, If people with questionable motivations have a certain nationality, that doesn’t mean the whole country is guilty.
The most glaring omissions (in my humble opinion, and I am very much biased of course) are the Stirling and Whitley. Of both aircraft the RAFM holds substantial remains in deep storage. Even restoration of these sections and put on display give some sort of recognition to the aircrew who flew these types.
Used in Lancasters, Halifaxes, Stirlings, and Canberra’s too.:D
I can speak from experience (:D) that getting into the pilot seat of a Halifax is quite a struggle and similar to ballet. And that
is without bulky flying clothing or a seat type parachute.
Post #2 nr 12 are parts from one of the batteries (accumulators).
Not in the the Netherlands 🙁
Where is his other Lanc cockpit based now?
What were the circumstances about the Vincent disposals? Were all aiframes dumped into a pit and filled in?
In post #16 the instrument face nr 3 is from a bomb steering indicator, IIRC that was used in combination with earlier bombsights and discontinued when the Mk XIV was introduced. One was used in earlier Halifaxes among other types used by RAF Bomber Command although later ones had the hole in the instrument panel empty (such as in my Halifax cockpit).

I saw the film yesterday and was suitably impressed by the aviation side of things, even the He-177 bit.
I like the article in FlyPast recentely. Well done so far chaps.

Recreation with thick and robust provenance.
Thanks for the update. Glad the project is still very much alive.
