Thanks avionic type, very interesting.
Do you know where those new Halifaxes were being scrapped? I wondered if it was a case of 'you' having the entire aircraft on site and taking what you needed or whether the parts were being delivered to you from a dedicated salvage company or even direct from the manufacturer or RAF.
Thanks Mike6567 - will take a look...
Thanks WHBM - must climb up in the loft and find my old Propliner copies...those articles must have been deleted from my memory over the years!
