    Looks like the recently completed Gustav reconstruction by the Sandy Corporation in Austria. Mostly new built using a lot of original parts such as cowling sections wingparts etc etc. Holger Bull built the fuselage. They are working on another 109 and a Fw190D (they have built two complete airframes now with the first going to the D-Day museum in the US, where BL370 is on display)

    Twenty series Merlins were used for Lancaster, Halifax and Beaufighter II IIRC

    Hi there,

    The same seat but with a headrest added was used in the Hastings.
    You have a Halifax one too, any pics?
    I have the frame of one but no info about the
    upholstery.

    Cheers

    I remember him. Sorry to hear of his passing. The former forum was a great place with many passionate people who contributed a wealth of information. Those were the days.

    Cheers

    IIRC that Mariner is no longer an intact airframe but a heap of wreckage. The Navy tried to lift it but things did not go well and it broke up.

    Thanks Anne, standard operating procedure I guess.
     

    But it’s not about me, but a private organisation which has been working for decades to locate and bring home missing aircrew from WW2, irrelevant what their nationality may be.

    @Geoff, I have been a volunteer with this organization: Aircraft Recovery Group 1940-1945, since 1989. Website http://www.arg1940-1945.nl

    and have been a member on this forum for around 20 years (you should know). CeBro is short for Cees Broere. Previously HP57.

    The wreck was found by a fishing trawler during 1998 and our group was contacted. We identified the aircraft and spent the next decades trying to have it recovered. The next of kin were also contacted. The main thing is that the next of kin can now close a chapter and the three missing finally have been laid to rest. 
    Cheers

    Not accusing anyone for fraud.
    Not a stab at Mr Martin mind you, whom I respect very much.

    Just that the powers that be (Dutch) never accept private organisations to do their job.

    But they will take the credit.

    Funny Guy did that.

    This has been our organisation’s project since 1999. We identified the aircraft, found the next of kin etc. And as usual others take the credit. Hilarious as usual.
