Peter,

I have seen wonders done with some oil based waxes,,,The Southend Vulcan was given this treatment at one time…

One of the volunters once told me that the Varsity was capable of running but I think it was just moved to the new location at that time…

Just found the story from the Flypast regarding the Avro Lincoln parts used to help other Lancasters…

“The Lincoln RF342 had been handed on to what was to become the Historic Aircraft Museum. HAM sold off and the Lincoln was roaded to Blackbushe, Hampshire, in November 1983, joining Warbirds of Great Britain. It supplied parts to several Lancaster restoration projects during this time – the undercarriage going to the Imperial War Museums’ Lancaster X KB889 for instance.”

Flypast Oct 2004 Article on Lincoln Survivors

The main wheels look to be Lancaster for sure,,,,but the main struts could they be Lincoln?

Peter,

I thought so also…but I remember reading an article in Flypast a few months ago. It was about the Avro Lincoln that was on display at Southend..well I think it stated that it undercarriage was used in the Duxford Lancaster restoration….which seems strange as I remember seeing pictures of KB889 at Oshawa Airport and it seems pretty complete….maybe I misread the article.

Anyone know whom owns the Avro Vulcan at Newark? I remember see some discussion awhile back about it being for sale?

Perhaps the Swift will/or could be moved out of the new hangar and into one of the other buildings…I think I read that at least one airframe was moving out of the old and into the new building..maybe the SAAB Draken is to be moved..anyone know what airframes are confirmed to being in the new section

I agree that we should appreciate the fact that we have these (3) Halifaxs for future generations to see.

There is a Halifax cockpit PN323 on distance in the UK also..but does anyone know of any other signifant Halifax sections in existance in the World.

Althought the Trenton Halifax will not 100% original materials it will represent the real thing in size and scale…

Restoration or Rebuild

I have visited the Trenton a few times a year since the restoration began and I was wondering how much of the original aircraft was used in the restoration…it looks like pretty much all new outer skins and surfaces for the Hali…The engines and spar are true but what about the rest….
