I will be surprised if it will ever be recovered instead of being talked about at lenght.
On the other hand I can image that having these kind of relics/wrecks on display at a national collection Joe Public will
start to complain the aircraft are not pristine.
Recover and restore or recover and preserve, both sides have their merits and disavantages.
Better just keep talking about it.:sleeping:

I must say that it is sad to read what complaints are there regarding the RAF Museum. It has a first class international collection spanning over 100 years of British aviation.
Of course a lot of the complaints are or have been reality, but nevertheless…. You would think that the management would do something constructive with it.
When I last visited two years ago I noticed something had been removed from the Bomber Command hall, when I got home I read here that the Typhoon had been
removed some days previously.;)
Musea always can’t always do it right, but let’s hope they put some things right in the near future.
Making national collections free in the UK is a good idea to lower the threshold for the general public but the downside is less income.
I don’t mind to pay an entrance fee.

How about Rolls Royce Merlin survivors, always wanted to know how many are actually out there.

Because of location I would think instruments, equipment and engines would be American made.

Have they also measured the Hampden parts? A new kit is also long overdue.
Good to see Airfix doing what they are good at.
Kits, boxart etc. Really liked the 1/24 Typhoon, although I normally build 1/32.

Is it possible to amend the title? I thought he had passed away upon reading it.

Noticed the book is to be scheduled for end of september 2015. A really must have.
Well done Gordon.
