: The recovery of substantial chunks of Whitley bits realy s

: day they may be able to get one stood on its feet.

: I remember some while ago the RAF museum released its pile
: of bits to a museum in the Midlands I think. These consis
: ted of some very substantial items as I recall. The compon
: ents were at least one very substantial wing and a big chu

: these parts could be sprung ?

: Secondly, on the subject of big wrecks I have often read a
: bout the Mickle Fell Stirling wreck which is now held in s
: tore by the RAF museum. I have read in many publications t
: hat this was one of the most complete wrecks in the UK. I
: know there was nothing near a complete airframe but it wou
: ld be interesting to see what sort of state the wreck is i
: n. Does anyone have any information or even pictures of th
