Classic British Flight Sim

....or at least the parts!

I updated my Google Earth program the other day as it was way out of date and I needed a screen grab to use as a background for the total re-work I have been doing to my nearest 'city' airport in FSX (it was pathetic in FSX but looks MUCH better now! )

While zooming in on details to try and get the best shaped generic buildings to place in game (I can only place generic/stock library buildings with the two software apps I am currently using) I noticed the items in the photo below (above the large hangar in the middle of the shot).



Now I obviously know what the wings came off (and the story behind them) and possibly Dave 'Cap't. Pugwash' may know too but I thought I would throw it up here for all the rivet counters (joking ) to see if anyone can identify which bird the wings came from. I'll give you a hint, it is a British design and has a bit of history behind it. ;-)

I will let you ponder over it for a while and then give you the answer tomorrow.

Looks "Lanc ish" to me.....

Garry...?

I thought Toronto (Victory Aircraft) or Hamilton (museum) were the most likely but they don't check out :-(

Could be Edmunton?. I found out that they are restoring a lancaster.

Ok so I googled it.

:roll:

But, but ....I am nowhere near Edmonton! That's a couple of days drive (at least) and two time zones away....GULP!

I would dare say canberra but they should be longer


BTW, in the upper right hand corner is that a Lockheed T-33 Shooting Star?

May not be complete wings.just outers?? :think:
