Interesting, Fifi in UK.

I know some of the pilots of Fifi, gonna ask them about it.

Brian, any update?

Chris, interesting about the Martin turret.

Reading the article , it said:

The wings were collected from the back of the building on Dock Road earlier this month, after being discovered in the roof in September.

This thread started in September. :rolleyes:

And how quickly the owner gave permission to take down the building to retrieve the spars when someone else was offering to do that for a while.

If indeed it was though this board the RAFM was alerted, then a proper thank you is in order.

But it is good those parts where rescued.

UPDATE:
Looked at the RAFM site, said

The RAF Museum was first alerted to the existence of the wings in April this year when an email was received suggesting that the roof of a building

So they knew earlier.
So, what took them so long! 😉

Oh woe is me, living in US. For some political reason BBC not streamed here.

BTW, Geoff, its Do-17 or DO-17, not D0 (number 0)-17 :rolleyes:

Wiki says:

A full-scale non-flying model of PZL.37 Łoś is currently (early 2012) being assembled at PZL Mielec factory, in the factory hall used to construct these bombers before the war. The dimensions of the model will be determined only from photographs as very little of the original blueprints for the aircraft survive, nevertheless the model shape will match the original very closely. It is being constructed from aluminium and steel leftovers from aircraft under construction at the factory and scheduled to be ready by mid-2012.

Nice that a good display model exists.
Perhaps RAFM do a similar one for Do17 next to remains of Sandy?

Helicopter?

Jet?

EDIT: DOH, posted at same time.

Commercial? (that is, not intended for military use… Scratch that, first and main customer is Commercial.)
