I think Peter should do what he pleases and if he chooses to stay away that’s this forum’s loss. Personally I always enjoy his posts, massive knowledge and photograpic database.
Perhaps he needs time to update the various boo’s (yes please). If people should think otherwise, think again.

The legendary Halifax, finally!
All my efforts to redeem the Halifax are finally succesful:D
That .303 looks to be in quite good conditon.

Sorry old chap that I don’t fully grasp the understanding of the Queens inglisj:cool:
Cees
Doesn’t the FAA hold a large number of Barra undercarriage legs?
Cees
Ross,
Can you do the old Smiths fuel gauge housings too?
Cees
Bradley,
Yes indeed, slip of the thumb:D
Cees
Hi there,
For information your best bet would be HAPS, who are rebuilding a Beau (and several cockpitsections).
Cees
Sorry for the delay Richard,
I disposed of my drawings including the indexlist after the cockpit was finished.
Cees
That one was taken away for scrap in the fifties unfortunately. Pics in book by Robert Kirby.
Cees
Thanks Twin,
My pics are similar so no need for me to post them as well. I was really surprised to see the Merlin engine. If it was recovered from Seddiner See (lake) then
there must have been more where that came from. Condition was good.
Cees
Visited the German Historic Museum today and they had a Merlin with one propeller blade on display from a Halifax II recovered from Seddiner lake. Any more info on that one?
Cees
The one problem the museum has is lack of space. There is a fully restored ju88g1 fuselage on display. The wings are under restoration in Hungary IIRC. But putting it together is almost impossible. The lanc is in a tight corner so don’t know if they recovered more of it. Some pics of the recovery are on the museum ‘s website.
Cees
In a parallel unveral steampunk world perhaps.

Lovely museum, only wish that hangar wasn’t so crowded, but it understandably is. When I visited last november it still is a magic place though, with the Halifax obviously my focal point of interest.
Would be nice if they let the Hasting wings go to Canada instead of letting it rot away on a Queen Mary outside. Come on chaps!
Cees
Again: where is Mark 12 when you need him
(also know as the Spitfire Guru).
Good to see you here Peter,
