Okay, a little more thought. Try Halifax.

Picture in the interior shots.

I had seen that photo whilst searching that was what made me thing Halifax. its just those lower brackets..although the photo does have a widening either side but still dosnt quite match..

The Shackleton looks a good match. sorry no numbers as badly corroded

Would be interesting to see the inside construction.Does anyone have any photos?

Thanks for all your feedback, i have to agree reference the shape as most Aircraft domes i have seen at museums etc are a lot shallower in shape. i feel maybe caravan but like has been said the metal part in the top confuses things, looking at the Halifax on the net the shape does appear higher.but internally it seems wrong. as the 2 bars at the bottom of the dome are missing.

Would anyone have any ideas what the two bar type brackets are for?

Signed, and as spread across Facebook as I can manage. Fingers crossed – he deserves better.

lets hope the relevant authorities agree, surely they will do something this time round as im confident with the right people involved this aircraft and F/S Eric Williams can be found.

Sorry try typing in 501 squadron man alive the few

it should then come up with “Man Alive | The Few – BBC”

For some reason i cant copy and paste the link. but the above works..
