    Many thanks for the excellent feedback! Another question relates to larger aircraft, such as the Halifax bomber; do these aircraft feature fuselage frames that are built in halves, then joined together, like the spitfire?

    Phillip,
    The Halifax formers are quite complicated in some areas such as the cockpit where frame 4/4a to 7 are made in several sections or split then Joined. in other areas the frames are similar in construction to the Spitfire. My drawings went to Canada so with luck new formers will be built.
    Cheers

    Very nice video. And don’t forget the radiuses on the wooden jigs.
    The drawings also indicate where the holes need to be drilled to bolt the
    Metal blanks to the wooden jigs.

    It must be a human thing. Although it seems the forum has improved lately with very interesting topics.

    Our museum took delivery of a very complete Vulture engine a few weeks ago.

    A flying replica isn’t a Wellington unless it is completely re-engineered like spits, hurricanes
    Or mustangs, but recreating a static one woukd be very welcome and quite feasible. If various
    Parties can be persuaded to cooperate.

    Only way to find out is to have a look instead of discussing it at lenght on a forum.

    If that ball turret is the same one I have seen before, I think it is Roel van Beurden
    From Zevenaar. That Lanc section was recently advertised on a dutch auction site.
    Was it sold at Shoreham?

    One, if you count a section of wing as a survivor. A Hawker book would be great.
    I’ll have one for sure.

    Hi Eddy,
    Welcome to the forum, and what a great first post. Very nice project. Will it be a full size or scale model?
    There are original type E turret cupola’s about. They were used as garden cloches. Recentely one was picked
    up from the UK and will be used in a Halifax reconstruction in Canada. You can try the RAF Museum as they
    have most manuals, you can look at their navigator tool on the website.
    I’m a huge Halifax fan so will follow this.
    Cheers

    The Marsh Wimpy is a monkey sandwich story. The wreckage was recovered.
    Try building a static example first and use the experiece to go further from there.

    Or a New Zealand (Motat’s?) Merlin P40F that has been converted into a Allison P40E?
    That’s really criminal.:dev2:

    Flaking paint is not much of a problem. PN323 is in much need of attention as the bombbay has a lot of corrosion.
    The Lanc has been restored before, now it’s time for it’s sister in arms.

    Graham,
    Yes, I remember that part. Nice pics too with the edge almost completely bent upwards They also used to dope a piece of string on the edges of fabric covered control surfaces. Or just bend the trailing edge of a metal clad one.
    Nice British engineering, and it worked.
