Bristol Bolingbroke cockpit sections in Canada

Posted by Cees Broere on Fri Feb 13, 2004 09:01:58 AM

Hi all,

I am seriously looking into the possibilities in acquiring a Bolingbroke cockpit section for restoration, since I have found a possible solution for the transportation problems.

The idea is to restore it to commemmorate the RAF/Coastal Command crews who were very active over Holland in 1940/1941. Today there is nothing left in Holland that reminds us of these gallant men.

I know that the Canadian Warplane Heritage at Hamilton have some surplus sections but there must be more organisations that possibly have cockpitsections surplus to their requirments and (hopefully at a reasonable cost). If anyone of our Canuck friends have any information regarding the above please let me know or send me an e-mail at home:

Peter, I know you sent me some information about this earlier but that was before the PC crashed unfortunately.

Cheers

Cees
