    Yes Cees – I know 🙂

    Elliott,

    Take note, the window catches on the Anson are the same as on the Halifax and Whitley 😮

    Truely beautiful seats Dave – that is fantastic work. I take my hat off to you!

    They are new build ones, got a drawing from a guy in the US (who works on B-17E, Desert Rat).
    Took a while but worth it in the end

    Was that the EMUAS expedition to North Wales? I first read that several years back – a classic 😀

    I have used this site many times – it is an excellent resource – something like this was long overdue.

    Hi – if the skin bears a 111 prefix then it is most likely from a He111.

    Hope that helps.

    Thanks for the quick reply !

    It appears to have part of a hinge mechanism at one end, and a swivel type mounting for (something?) next to the hinge. It as a slightly convex section (rather than being entirely flat . It is in remarkable condition, considering its age. The aluminim aircraft skin has the number 111241 stencilled in ink in one place. The guy I bought it from normally sells me German stick grenades (inert!) and other military items that he fishes up from a lake near an old German camp in Russia with A SUPERMAGNET !

    Everything else I ave bought from him has been correct and genuine, so I have a lot of confidence in this being WW2 and from a crashed German
    aircraft BUT MORE HELP NEEDED!

    Thanks

    AGS implies British as far as I’m aware.

    Yes Alan – I’m looking for donations really but I’ll get a list together for you.

    Hi Peter

    I would venture it is an anson – it’s just had some gaps filled with nondescript parts. The Indonesians are good at this 😉

    Hi guys,

    It’s the photographer here. I put some more photos of that thing here:

    I originally thought it was a late model Anson, with a deeper fuselage. Over the past year several knowledgeable people have told me it’s really not an Anson at all, which I’m prepared to believe, but then what is it?

    This does not make much sense I think, because the aircraft is portraying an Anson. Why then make it look less like one.

    You may be on the right track here – several people are seeing Aztec/Apache parts, even though I’d think the thing is rather bigger than an Aztec/Apache.

    Peter:)

    I’ve signed it too. Why don’t you ask the mods to put it up as a sticky?

    What an awesome museum – it just goes to show what a lot can be done with wrecks. Good for them.

    That’s beautiful to look at Herbert.

    Did he start from scratch or was it built from a wreck?

    Commonly the navigator Nils, but the pilots instrument panel of many aircraft has space for a stop watch.

    Thanks Bruce!

    I think it is possible to find out the crew member who have receive this watch, than it must me registered…

    Thanks Rob

    PM sent.

    Right then, I know someone who can get you 3800 bullets at 30p per bullet – he buys the bullets and the cartridge cases and clamps them together, so could also find the 200 bullet heads you need. Are you interested? I’ll be having a look at the bullets on Sunday so could get photos etc, I could look after the bullets till you are able to pick them up if it helps
