This reconstructed Halifax is the result of over 10 years work. The aircraft is based on a section of a Halifax 2 which carried out an emergency landing on the Isle of Lewis in 1945. The fuselage section was later used a chicken coop. The wings came from Hastings TG536 at Catterick. Named in honour of Halifax LV907 which completed 128 operations with 158 Sqn. Seen at the Yorkshire Air Museum. This photo is copyright © Malcolm Clarke, and may not be used or published in any way without permission.
