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 :wink:

What a great idea for a shot. :smile:

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 :wink:

Kind regards

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