When restoration of this Halifax Mk.III composite was completed in 1984, it was the only complete example in the world, although a second has since been recovered from a Norwegian lake and restored for display in Canada. Based around large fuselage sections of Halifax Mk.II HR792, parts from LW687 and JP158 were also used, along with the wings from Hastings TG536. Painted on the port side as Mk.III LV907 of 158 Sqdn, the starboard side represents Mk.IV NP763 'H7-N' with French roundels, commemorating an aircraft of that country's 346 (Guyenne) Sqdn, which was based at Elvington.

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.
