Photo Comment

Started out as a fuselage frame built from new wood and original fittings from three aircraft and displayed in 1972 in the newly opened museum. In early 1983 construction of a complete replica commenced. A replica Renault engine was constructed at RAF Cardington Restoration Centre with an original propeller acquired from a garage in Weston-super-Mare. Final fabric covering and rigging completed at Cardington in 1990-91. Delivered to Hendon in 1992 and installed in the Bomber Hall. Moved to the Grahame White Hangar in April 2012.
