Perhaps Elvington have some spares left. Visited them in November and the turret collection is magnificent.

I’m working on some illustrations featuring local (Durham and Northumberland) RAF airmen.

Here’s Halifax II DT675 EQ-O of 408 Sqn:

It was badly damaged by flak over Cologne, lost the starboard inner prop, and two other engines stopped for a short time. The Halifax was turned upside down, the fuselage, hydraulics, elevators and compasses damaged, and navigation charts were lost. The bomb aimer, Sgt. James William Taylor Mason Smith, of Bedlington, managed to navigate back using the bomb sight compass, and they landed at Manston. The pilot, S/Ldr Edward Gerard Gilmore RCAF, was awarded the DFC, and Smith was awarded the DFM.

Both Smith’s DFM and Gilmore’s DFC were officially announced on April 6th 1943 – 24 hours after they had both had been lost in Halifax BB336 on a mission to Kiel.

How could I have missed this.
Beautiful work.

That is certainly good news. Didn’t know about this one.

Those 3d CAD drawings are fantastic. Shape of things to come (literally).

Hi Cees,
Yes, spars will be incorporated into the fuselage. We decided last year to make a complete section, that further assemblies could bolt onto in the future.

Hi David,
Using the spars from LK488 by any chance or new built?

John,
But you can always do that on the second front fuselage.

Wow, that looks very very nice. Good progress to all.
