Remember the full size B-24 replica that was built in Holland for a movie? The second wireless station mock up they built for studio shots is with us. Remember the article in FlyPast some months ago stating that the airframe was saved by a group from Luxembourg?
Not!!!!
The group couldn't find the space to house the replica and the owner ordered to have it removed. They cut off the nose section and one engine and the rest was turned into a bonfire!!!!.
Luckily the nose section and engine were acquired by Belgium based BAHA where it is now safe and in a good home.
Shame shame shame
