    Well this morning the rear fuselage was removed from our display, it is very light I can tell you. It will be going to a new owner.

    I have some of those spare as well, never knew they were used in the Stirling as well.
    Visited the Deelen museum yesterday and crawled through the former pigsty there, being a 6 meter section of Stirling IV. The seat nearby you also know about.

    Long awaited update time.

    The construction is finished, the instrument panel nearly so. The three large holes are for the fuel gauges (made by Rocketeer, thanks Tony). Originals are even more rare than unobtanium. Only instrument needed is the small version of the D/F indicator with bakelite body (with the crossed yellow needles). Haven’t found one. Only the larger with metal bodies turn up on ebay.

    Once painting is finished that’s it.

    We have one of those in storage at the museum here in Holland. If nothing in the UK is available I can ask the board if it can be made available.

    The remains of Dinghy Young’s lanc are rumoured to be still under the sand on the Dutch beach of Egmond aan Zee. This is not made up. Pics of it are in Lancaster at War book and until 1953 it was still visible and used as a shelter.
    In case you are looking for “real” rumours instead of silly ones. This forum has had it’s share of those these past weeks.:cool:

    Don’t panic, but I am under the impression the this forum the past few months has slipped to the level of general discussion. I checked several times to see if this is indeed the Historic section.:confused:

    The topic about the Burmese thingies sadly could be observed to slip into silliness, almost waiting for a clash or differences op opinion. Almost like an accident to happen. Pity really.
    My opinion only, this is still a forum. Is it?

    No comment:)
    But the wings are of Halifax descendance, we have done an exhaustive topic about it.

    What happened? (Yes, I know now trawling through this thread).
    Two people I have a high respect for have been banned. I do know that if they are not allowed to participate any longer here, that would severely degrade my interest in his forum.
    I hope things will be settled in a correct manner.

    The notorious Broome harbour “incident” where Dutch Dorniers etc were sunk, weren’t there one or two C-class boats involved? I remember seeing a documentary where a wing was shown underwater.

    Saw it two weeks ago, the cropped propellertips don’t help either.
    Did they do that to balance the props after damage?
