Bomber Command Hall I reckons – It’s being finished as a bomber (the opening for the conservation centre at Cosford mentioned the bomb trolley for the Fee)

The space formerly occupied by the Be2 is empty, with the Be2 going on the other side of the doors to where the Battle used to be

And there’s a big photo of an FE2 bomber behind the space occupied by the Be2

picture of second uncovered NZ example in Aeroplane this month, parked adjacent to the first one………….

or are we talking about the “secret” RAFM example which appeared on national television last month? :diablo:

Oh, the secret RAFM FE2 that’s going on display in July at Hendon?

Slightly more than obsolete – flying an Eindecker in combat in 1917 (or is it set in late 1916?) would be like taking a banana to a gunfight! Apart from the benefit of the synchronisation gear, they weren’t that impressive an aircraft anyway

Interesting that the logbook was found – I thought they were all handed in to the RAF after the war, and possible destroyed? (Not so sure on the last part though)

I’d be very interested too in reading the biography Brian, Steve is right, not exactly a great wealth of material out there on the ‘Big Ack’

I was also of the understanding that the CAA didn’t allow the carrying of external stores, for example with the Beech Restorations T-6 which carried external stores in Africa, but that does raise the point as to how come the Shuttleworth Collection’s Hawker Hind is allowed to carry it’s bombs?
