RAF Museum Liberator

Last Flown 1974

From the history of the aircraft http://www.rafmuseum.org.uk/london/c...0Liberator.pdf

7 Jul 74 Arrived from Rome at RAF Lyneham, Wilts for customs clearance at 17.35 having
overflown the air display at Greenham Common en route, making a low pass.

11 July 74 Following some minor repairs, flown to RAF Colerne, Wilts to join the aircraft collection
there as the runway at Cosford, the original destination, was thought too short. This 15-minute delivery flight ended the 41 hours of flying back to the UK.

Therefore unlikey to be the one at Hendon

The one that was at Duxford was HE771 which was delivered to USA from Duxford, UK. on Aug. 27, 1975.

So none around in the eighties
