Re: Aviation Wrecks and Relics


Speaking of wrecks, I'd sure like to see that Halifax Mk II (W1048) before it is reduced to a bag of red dust.

And then there is the Bristol Britannia, but that is at Duxford, yes? JPN

By the time you get here J.P.N. it will be just Red-dust on a North-London floor !!!!!!!!

Regarding the Brittannia - G - AOVT she DOESN'T fall into the category of wrecks & relics........

If (big IF here) you time your visit right, the society who run/own/organise the Airliners at Duxford (they AREN'T owned/operated by the I.W.M.) occasionally open up the inside of one of their exhibits; so you can walk round inside.......

I've been inside G - AOVT myself (I've got a photo I took along the flightline, whilst leaning out the fuselage-door; somewhere)

Last time I went (I took my Son) & both He & I walked around inside the BOAC Vickers-VC.10 = my Son remarking on how incredibly tall the T-shaped tail is; especially from the ground......!!!!!
