: Hi all,

: The idea is to restore it to commemmorate the RAF/Coastal
: Command crews who were very active over Holland in 1940/19
: 41. Today there is nothing left in Holland that reminds us

Cees,

Are you shelving your Halifax cockpit rebuild? Anyway...if you could get a number of people together then the Bolingbroke that Graham O has in Classic Wings is still for sale (according to the web site this morning that is).

Dave

p.s. you mentioned a Typhoon Undercarriage leg in one of the other posts and was wondering if you could mail me some details...still trying to compile database of surviving parts so any other Typhoon/Tempest recovered parts in Holland (or anywhere else you have come across) would help alot. I seem to remember reading somewhere that there is a Tempest Tail somewhere in Holland is this correct?
