This sounds encouraging. Hopefully a resolution will be achieved which serves all party’s interests. Good luck to all involved.

Cees,

There are a couple of aircraft which would arouse interest with groups in the UK of which most of us are aware of. The Stirling and the Whitley. Although I cannot speak on behalf of these groups, I would have thought the expense of salvaging aircraft of this size could be quite prohibitive. Lottery bids anyone? (well to me it’s a good cause)!
Anyway, I am not sure who would be able to lay claim, to say, a potentially complete Stirling? Would the RAF museum get first refusal? What would Hendon do with it anyway? Perhaps they will clear a space next to the Halifax and have another ‘crashed’ diorama. 🙁

By the way, any hints as to which 5 aircraft you are investigating? 😉

As for most ambitious, the project to create a replica Hp42 has just been launched, and when that takes off for the first time I think it would be a major milestone as up untill now the Vimy is probably the largest flying replica around.

What’s this? Have I missed something? I’ve not heard of this one before. Information anyone?

Paul

DGH-Thanks :).

Thanks for the link David. I was trying to find some information on their Beaufighter not so long ago. Shame to see it’s in storage :(.
I was hoping for some progress. Oh well, one day.
