There was indeed a twin carrier that enabled four bombs abreast to be carried. If you look at pics you see that the middle two hang a bit lower because of the crossbeams of the carrier. When we recovered part of the bombbay of a Lanc the carrier was still in place.
Is he quitting his Stirling activities? That column set up was on show at our museum for several years until the owner took it away and sold it as he needed money.
Never knew a Napier Sabre was extant in France (not considering the many Sabres dug up in Normandy).
A good start of the year would be to learn what the plans are for Halifax forward fuselage PN323. It’s sat at Duxford for half a decade now with nothing being done to it (apart from gutting it). Time to do some nice work to it or donate it to the
Canadian Halilfax reconstruction project.
Not being negative to IWM but it’s a shame how this unique exhibit is being treated.

Thanks Mark, Alec WIlson seems to have a lot of project going on. Anything being done to them currently? Or just resting.
I got a Marconi T1154 B transmitter that is missing it’s acess cover with the frequency chart on the front and the fuses on the back. Any out there?
Well, it’s not on loan.
Wait and see

Here you can see some pics taken during dismantling.
Thanks to Photobucket I hardly post pics anymore.

Been a while and to let you know that over the pas six Saturdays the cockpit has been completely dismantled. It will move to a great new home…….in the UK!
Makes me think when I visited North Weald during 1997. In one of the hangars there were two very complete and in excellent condition BMW 801’s.
I heard that there were more SeaFury bits in store at one point, perhaps that causes the confusion.
Great news, a rear fuselage goes a long way to see a full size Whirlwind completed. Keep it up.
