Hi Cees,
Just "popped in" to see what's been going on over the last few months... Yea, I know, if I spent more time here I would know what's going on.... Anyway, back to the bits recovered from W1048 & used on PA474... Absolutely CORRECT :-)
The engines on W1048 were brand new (or as near as dammit) and totally undamaged thanks to a careful pancake on a very smooth surface... Result was a set of very nicely preserved V12's... BBMF's scouts found out & swopped "old for new" to keep PA474 going... Personally speaking, I like that... A HALIFAX keeping a LANCASTER in the air!! :-) heheheheh
TTFN
