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.

On 27th April 1942, this aircraft from 35 Squadron took off from RAF Kinloss to attack the German Battleship Tirpitz in Fættenfjord, Norway. Mines were dropped near the ship but the aircraft was hit and force landed on the frozen Lake Hoklingen. The ensuing fire caused the aircraft to sink. It was recovered in 1973 and allocated RAF maintenance serial 8465M. It is displayed with no attempt at restoration, simply conservation work having been carried out to prevent further deterioration. A magnificent and poignant exhibit.

On 27th April 1942, this aircraft from 35 Squadron took off rom RAF Kinloss to attack the German Battleship Tirpitz moored in Fættenfjord in Norway. Mines were dropped near the ship but the aircraft was hit and force landed on the frozen Lake Hoklingen. The ensuing fire caused the aircraft to sink. It was recovered in 1973 and allocated RAF maintenance serial 8465M. It is displayed with no attempt at restoration, simply conservation work having been carried out to prevent further deterioration. Note that serial, code and roundel are still visible on the rear fuselage.

This, the star attraction of the Yorkshire Air Museum is actually a composite reconstruction, though superb looking. The fuselage is of Halifax HR792 which crashed on the Ise of Lewis in 1945 and which was used as a chicken shed and the wings were from a Handley Page Hastings TG536
