Gents.
Let me shed some light on the parts of these two lancasters. Firstly KB976 was unfortunately heavily damaged in the hanger roof collapse in Woodford. The centre section and rear section of the fuselage took quite a beating. The rear section was swapped with the one from 944 and this is verified with a photo of the rear fuselage at sandtoft with the codes LQ K on the side,this is the fuselage section lying on its side at Sandtoft. The centre section that is lying at the same location is off of a Lincoln and I have heard that their is the complete tail off KB976 in England somewhere...?
