Does Ian Foster know? I suppose you have already asked him!

: Hi All,
:
: Just trying to sort some things out.
:
: As you know the IWM has the nose section of Halifax PN323.
: There is a photograph taken in the early sixties showing
: this aircraft still complete but with a single tailfin and
: with its tail propped up in the air. Apparently the airfr
: ame was scrapped shortly afterwards.
:
: Question 1: why was the nose section only removed?
:
: Question 2: what happened to the undercarriage castings. I
: believe that the RAFM had one but it got somehow lost aft
: er YAM used it to make a moulding. What is true about the
: rumours that the other one ended up in New-Zealand?
:
: Question 3: What exactly did happen with the rest of the a
: irframe, was it scrapped immediately or was it stored some
: where and could something possibly have survived?
:
: Over to you.
:
: Cheers
