Nice pic....read an article on the discovery and the subsequent raising of that aircraft in 'Aeroplane Monthly' way back in the 70's. Apparently when they connected a battery some of the bulbs still worked after all those years under water.. :shock:

Interesting article it was too.

Regards.

Not sure if the story you're thinking of isn't the Loch Ness Wellington Brian or if that's a coincidence :think: Same happened with her. Fin lamp seemed to be intact so they connected pwr and on it came :shock:

Nice shot

What a great idea for a shot.

John, whose Halifax is that ? I have Alphasim's, but it's a B.Mk.III, which that one there clearly isn't.

Nice one John.

I remember the article Brian mentioned when they raised it and some of the panel lights came on. :shock:

Thanks Jason

As for the Martlet shots, I'm trying to make them something better than usual given the significance to me

Kind regards

Wonderful shot John, but the 'mods' should have included a Boulton-Paul turret, the bulgy round one, I think.
