Hi H.H.
This fascinates me. The Halifax lingered on ( Met flying and parachute testing) until around. c.1954.
The reason I wonder, is that both of these H.P. aircraft had undercarriages " Hewn from the living rock" and to a small boy would have seemed gigantic.
Can you remember anything more ?-(or can anyone else chip in on this one?)
Cheers,
Haraka
