Looks like one of the props was feathered too………

Been watching with interest, and a certain degree of scepticism.

In the end, well done for a largely succesful recovery – although there must have been a few missed heartbeats when the engines came off, as I assume they did during the lift ( why else would the props be attached to the strops and ‘fresh’ grease in the hubs )

Now the real doubt in my mind springs to the fore – what will they do with it and how fully will it / can it be restored ? I just don’t want another Halifax, but maybe the engineer in me just hates seeing broken aeroplanes 🙂

Admiration:

for the crews involved; those who designed, developed and made the weapons; the BBC for what was a very competent production, and the RAF for some superb choreography .

There’s a new Italeri model of it about to be released – far more moden a kit thgan the Airfix offering

How would you propose getting her to Scampton? Bit tight through Lincoln, and no easy way round either.[/QUOTE]

When I was at Abingdon, one of the ‘dead’ Nimrod AEW’s had one:

Personally I’d like to see the approach Cosford used to have with the Axis machines, or Bruntingthorpe – keep them ‘live’ but don’t fly them ( intentionally :rolleyes: )
