I love that hali nose at the IWM - it's just down the road from where i live. The sad thing is that i can't do the walk through any more :(

Personally i'd leave well alone.




: Hi all,
:
: We all know the stories and the opinions in warbird land a
: bout the Halifax restoration that Yorkshire Air Museum car
: ried out during the late eighties and early nineties.
:
: The major concern was that it was not a Halifax but a seri
: al soup using a lot of fabricated parts, the wings from a
: Hastings and newbuilt tail and nose sections.
:
: The tail was built by apprentices at BAe Brough, so was do
: ne in a good way. The nose was built by retired volunteers
: by using wooden frames and aluminium stringers and skin.
:
: Now, suppose the IWM willing to give up their nose section
: from PN323 now on show at Lambeth and that was fitted to
: the Halifax airframe at Elvington. What would the general
: opinion regarding the authenticity of the airframe be then
: ?

: I am curious to what you think.
