Cees, to continue the thread on Hampden(s) at.........

Posted by Tony C on Mon Sep 30, 2002 08:30:24 AM

East Kirkby, I have had a restless weekend thinking about this matter.

I seem to remember that during one of my visits to Hendon, there was a rear/tail section of a Hampden in the Bomber Command Hall, very near the rear turret of that Halifax. Also, on the 25/09, Paul Millan said that the RAFM hold one frame and that bits of another are at East Kirkby (via the RAFM).

Now the RAFM state that the airframe held in their collection is a Hampden TB.1 (P1344) while Lincs Aviation Heritage state that the parts held in the Blitz Exhibition are AE436.

So on this basis, if you are correct and the the fuselage that is being rebuilt and the remains of AE436 are the same aircraft, where is P1344.

Or (please) are there two Hampdens at East Kirkby?

Tony
