There used to be the copula or maybe two at the Transport Museum at Wanaka , from memory they were probably from a Sunderland . An old armourer told me that one of the jobs he had to do during the war was to replace all the glazing in the Anson and Oxford turrets as they distorted in the summer heat in NZ .
Was this the aircraft photographed languishing at Tangmere post war ? I believe MPM or Special Hobby have a 1/72 scale kit with RAF markings as a decal option .
I visited Panshanger more than once in those days , and my recollection was that the last time the aircraft was in a sorry state and I think it was sitting on its tail , I am pretty sure it was beyond flying out again , it may well have been engineless . There was also an airworthy red and whitw Dragon Rapide
Thanks for that , were there more aircraft broken up here ? What was the story here , was this just a tired old airliner , bought for parts and scrapped ? How did a Canadian aircraft end up here in Hertfordshire ?
The 5 decimal points are easy , it is the legal one that is difficult , litigation , potentially costly on several levels .
However those WW1 engines are appearing sourced from NZ , Beardmore , RAF and Bentley I believe .
