Lancaster bits & pieces

I know we've talked about Lancaster bits before but I'd really like to know if there would actually be enough bits around to rebuild a complete composite Lanc to flying condition, using one of the 3 or 4 extant Lanc cockpits.

From what I can see so far, usable wing sections appear to be rare or even non-existant, anyone know of any ?

Any news on usable bits, such as fins and rudders, tailplanes, cowlings, nacelles, spinners, undercarriage, wheels, engine bearers, turrets, fuselage sections, etc etc etc, would be extremely useful to know.

I understand that the prop blades of the Lanc are the same as those used on the C47, but are the hubs the same ?

I'd just love to be able to do the same with the Halifax, Stirling and Manchester, but I have a feeling that it would be extremely difficult.....to say the least!


Cheers
Mick
