Very nice, I was at Cosford on friday and the workshop unfortunately wasn’t open. Pity. Imagine walking around there knowing that a Wellington, Hampden en Dornier 17 are only a short distance away. But seing the almost complete fuselage displayed like that really shows that it is quite a large aircraft. Well done to the team.

Their fate hangs in whoever temps a deal out of the actual owner of the legs. Others have tried and failed, which is a great shame as he wants them to go to a worthwhile project.

I have received a couple of PM’s regarding these oleo legs,

Meaning, he wants a small fortune for it. The market for Tiffy legs is quite small. If it was for the other fighter then, well…….
Personally I am very enthusiastic about this project and so are some others, but it seems this forum is getting more and
more cynical. Don’t know if that’s the forum’s fault.

Indeed, they look fantastic (the legs I mean). Any help with these kind of projects is always appreciated.
Now, to get a set of wings from somewhere.

A fax! Those are only to be found in a museum these days? In a display case, not the office.

As I said earlier, that a young museum (at the time) was able to pull off such a magnificent achievement is almost a miracle.

True David,
Replacing the propblades (the current ones are fibreglass) would be a great step forward. Although I was amused last year when I saw the
part of the exhausts made from workmen hard hats. Had not noticed that before but had read about it and thought at the time what an
idiotic thing to do. But they are very obvious once noticed.

As the Halifax stands now it’s fantastic, but we are more focused on details than the average visitor of course.
