Real Halifax? Thought there were only two - the Elvington composite (real fuselage and other bits, Hastings wings) and the RAF Museum example, rescued from lake Hocklingen, Norway.

The one at the RCAF museum I believe it is the most original one NA337 2p-x 644 SQNReal Halifax? Thought there were only two - the Elvington composite (real fuselage and other bits, Hastings wings) and the RAF Museum example, rescued from lake Hocklingen, Norway.
an interesting thing you might read about the Trenton Hallie is the the part on primer inside the aircraftGreat info Neil, many thanks.
I really think that whoever now runs Elvington are taking the p*** asking 60 quid per person to tour the Hally. OK, it costs to keep it in good condition (recently had to have cash spent on re-furbishing, due to structural problems with the floor), and donations to a museum are always welcome - but that cost seems very high to me. Either make it a reasonable charge, or don't have it open at all, unless for special requests from researchers, authors, TV companies etc., as most museums would.
No doubt I'll learn more when I visit the place - don't want to 'knock' them unjustifiably at this stage.
I paid $60 a few years back to go in a DC-3, but that included a 20 minute rideI agree Neil. Don't mind paying a reasonable fee, to help with the upkeep, volunteers time etc, but £60, per head, pre-booked, seems a bit steep to me!
