Photo Comment

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.
