maninblack I took my dad to see the Elvington Halibag as he was a F/E on 158 squadron 44-45 and the Elvington replica is finished as NP-F "Friday the Thirteenth" which features in his logbook on a number of occasions.

Who were the faceless numbnuts who, looking at Lanc S-Sugar and Halifax F-Friday, parked on the bombed out remains of John Lewis (?) for the VE-Day celebrations sent the Lanc to a museum and the Halibag to the scrapyard.

At least somebody at the knackers yard had the sense to cut off Friday's bomb log which used to be on display at Hendon.
