According to this month's Aeroplane Monthly, the Fairey Battle L.5343, left Rochester Airport on October 20th after 2 and half years restoration but was sadly damaged on the way to Hendon. Unfortunately the haulage contractors employed by the RAF Museum to transport it made a very poor job of securing the aircraft. Considerable damage was caused on the trip to Hendon. The Battle has now gone to RAF Museum Cosford for repairs.
