Is it just me who finds it fascinating seeing the aircraft all naked with their panels removed?

I agree with you… always find this sort of thing fascinating. I wish non-flying museums would do this occasionally… it would make for a good reason to go by. Take one aircraft a month, and get the access panels off. I’m sure you’d get more regular visits from chaps like us, just to see what was new.

Lovely photos by the way… any shots of the corsair by chance?

Cheers,
Richard

Fabulous Elliot!

Incidentally… how much fuselage do you guys have? I know you have several substantial wing sections, but was wondering how you plan on tackling the rest.

All the best,

I would guess that from the A28-8 preservation (now on display at Point Cook RAAF Museum) there are left-over bits (as per Beaufighter VI’s post) – this might be the exchange, but I do not know.

The left over bits went to Murray Griffith’s shop in Wangaratta. I think the trade is with them. They have enough to build 3 or 4 aircraft I believe.

In essence, Richard, that is largely why the aircraft are both still there and this arises from protracted court proceedings in the USA regarding “ownership” of said machines. Having had unique access to the story through court papers etc, and through input from a US based Admiralty Lawyer acting for the potential salvors, I was able to assemble the full story – this aided by unique underwater footage of one of the sunken Corsairs provided to me by the potential salvors.

Since the magazine in question in question is a non-Key title I am nervous about naming it (it is not the “other” aviation magazine, though!) although it is not exactly a competitor title. Googling will throw it up, I am sure, once the piece is published.

Many thanks Andy. I appreciate the sensitivity required. I hope one day they do the right thing though…

All the best,
Richard

Barry! Many thanks for the additional photo… it is a fascinting load when you think of it… Double Decker Buses and Harvards…. who would have put those two together! Any more photos?

No I didn’t work at computing devices…. I lived in Bells Corners back in the 70’s when I was still a child… will be heading back again to see family in a couple of weeks though.

Would love to see some more… lovely shot. It’s a small world, I used to live just down the road from you in Bells Corners!

Which magazine? I am very curious! It’s a shame that the pilots could not be properly recovered and buried with honors as they should have been. The aircraft too could have served as proper memorials to the men, but …. well, I guess we shouldn’t go there considering all of the mess that occurred a few years back.

All the best,
Richard

Many thanks Robbo… not much left, but it’s something at least. It would make a nice exhibit I would have thought.

It’s owned by the National Naval Aviation Museum in Pensacola, but presently on loan to a museum in Finland.

Thanks Richard, just the info i was looking for. If I get a hold on it, I might be able to find out more from whatever numbers are stamped into it.

You’re very welcome … glad I could help! 🙂
