    In Holland there’s a Lancaster front section project that has come to a grinding halt a few years ago. Almost all equipent and fittings had been collected, pity really.

    Great footage,

    The Boly/Blenheim is a very classic aircraft and needs all the attention it can get. I once negotiated with Vince about a cockpit section but the difficult ways of Canadian Heritage laws and shipping put paid to that. But it still lingers on in the back of my mind.

    Hi Deryck,
    Back from hibernating already?

    Hi John,

    That’s fantastic to see what a huge job it was but the result is superb.
    Very sophisticated technology for it’s time,
    Now build a Whitley tail section like the Belgains did;)

    How about a project simlilar to the reconstructed Defiant?
    Wooden construction with metal skinning, would give the idea of a metal airframe for the time being, until something more definitive could be built.

    In the Netherlandse there are plans to reconstruct a Fokker T V twin engined
    bomber

    That CAD drawing could at least be a great starting point for a GRP
    replica or even a metal skinned full size example for museum display at Hendon.
    At least it’s a start.

    My god! I’ve just remembered loaning it to them in 1973!

    It’s time I got it back.

    Reaches for phone….

    Alan,

    Did you have a contract with them at the time? These things
    happen over time, after a while they “forget” who owns the
    item. Happend over here many times.

    Nice tailsection, just a lick of paint and it is as good as new.

    And what about the very complete airframe of an early Messerschmit 109 that was found in a bombcrater and the collection of over a dozen engines on Frankfurt airport(IIRC)?

    There must be more.
