Cheers Beaufighter, this news has made my day! By the way, are you still after extra hands to help with the restoration? By about May time i should have transport, and i’d love to come down a couple of times or more a month and help out

mmm nice, must go there before too long! Believe theres a walk-through Halifax fuselage at Yorkshire Air Museum too

Ah didn’t think about that, would be nice, perhaps a second T2 hangar for the Wellington and Hampden, and drag them out to be by the Lancaster before and after it does it’s taxi runs 😀 Ahhh magic

Is the Hampden relatively complete then? Thought it was only the tail section. Would be very nice though, believe theres a Hampden under restoration at East Kirby as well, would go nice with the Lanc

Would be very nice, not sure where it would go though, theres not many museums with either the space and/or building space for one. Personally i wouldn’t mind if it went overseas, would still mean one more complete Welly

Had my second lesson tomorrow, getting the hang of it, great fun going down a dual carriageway at 40-50mph weeeee 😀

Would it take much to restore the Halifax? Such a shame to see all the other bombers standing up with their heads held high in the bomber hall, and the Halifax lying on the gruond like a sad puppy. Although we have wrecks like that to thank for a lot of aircraft preservation, i’d rather see her preserved as she would be 60+ years back, she’s also the only Halifax with a front turret as far as i know
