two into one
I remember my father telling me of an AOC inspection
at West Raynham whereby one of the Hunters generated was actually the front part of one and the rear of another. He told me they were actually quite accurately built and the first fighter he had seen where that was possible.
How it was possible to tell that I have no idea, but the AOC apparently just looked the other way. No doubt
someone will verify/deny/correct.
Just to correct my own post I recall reading that Lancaster bombers
which lasted long enough to need major overhaul were broken
down into major parts, the re-assembled bomber was not necessarily the parts of the original as they went through the repair process at different speeds. True or false ?
