    The only one I know of was Halifax NA337, it’s pilot escape Hatch was found in a wooden area. The aircraft itself ditched in Lake Mjosa Norway.

    During 1999 the museum I work for recovered Halifax LW343. Not much was found, but we did recover a Gallay drum type radiator. Perhaps this helps.

    Does that mean Rudy Frasca is selling TP280 to finance his Mk XVIII restoration project?

    unbelievable what has happened here. If the team is looking for a new project, give Elliot a shout. A Whitley is needing much attention like what you have done.

    Looks like a fibreglass mockup to me.

    That is an endplate from a small bomb container. These were filled with incendiary bombs. some squadrons painted the Squadron codeletters on them.
    Hope this helps

    That looks like part of a Whitley wingrib to me. Similar to those found during the N1521 investigation.

    Sorry to read that but that must have some effect on the Whirlwind Fighter Project (and possibly Whitley/Stirling projects) too? What if the RAFM are unwilling to accept either airframe?

    Any interest generated by this project is welcome. The wellington was the backbone of bomber command. And it seems to be largly forgotten despite being the most built of British types.
    If I remember correctly the Brooklands team formed all geodetic sections by hand using a press and wooden blocks to prevent distortion. Perhaps they still have these.

    I agree on that. The Canadians are working on another project starting almost from scratch. The Hastings wingspars being reworked to Halifax spencs.

    Problem is that in the UK there seems to be no energy or interest to embark on the reconstruction of such a large airframe. Only due to dedicated enthusiasts such as the Whitley and Stirling projects for instance.
    A flying Wellington is stretching the limits of reality quite a bit, but a reconstructed third one that can taxi would be great.

    Anyone know the plans for Halifax nose PN323? When visiting Duxford in november the cockpit had been gutted. Will it be fully restored?

    Interesting. Years ago while visiting Foyles in London I spotted several paperbacks of the famous book ” the wooden horse”
    They all were signed by Eric Williams. Did not buy any of them, as I had already read the book. Hmmmm….
    Missed opportunity here?

    We certainly hope so John.
    Hope we get a good summer with less wind than last year.
