Europe Trip #29: IWM Duxford - 10 - Airworthy/ restoration to Airworthy

The following aircraft were in a hanger that contained a variety of airworthy and being restored to airworthy aircraft. What you see in this post is a small selection of those aircraft.

Apart from the fact that many of these rare and impressive aircraft either are, or will be, airworthy, I was really impressed with both the cleanliness of this workshop, and that the public are allowed in to observe these restorations!

Top to bottom [with registrations, where known] are:

Curtis P40B Warhawk, G-CDWH
Grumman FM2 Wildcat
Beech 17 Staggerwing, G-BRVE
North American T28S Fennec [French built T28 Trojan]
Supermarine Spitfire Vb
Chance Vought F4U Corsair
Bristol Beaufighter

Europe Trip #11: RAF Museum Hendon - 6 - First of the multi props

After the single engined types, here is the first of 3 posts on some of the multi-engined types.

Like the singles, there was a good variety of aircraft - none of which I had ever seen up close before! Because of the size of some of these aircraft, I have included multiple shots where I think that may be of interest.

Top to bottom are:

Bristol Beaufighter TF.X
Bristol Beaufort
Consolidated Liberator B.VIII
Avro Lancaster [3 pictures]
Handley Page Halifax [2 pictures]
