Nick Millman Posted July 12, 2015 Share Posted July 12, 2015 Even damaged those airframe components would have provided valuable evidence for the painting of Lancasters inside and out. But the warbird restoration/rebuild community never seem to think of that or to demonstrate best practice in analysing and recording that evidence before it is destroyed.

waistgunner Posted July 12, 2015 Share Posted July 12, 2015 The B-24 will always be a favorite of mine. That being stated , one still must appreciate the Lancaster and respect her accomplishments of WWII . Thanks for sharing the pictures are great . This made my day !

Nick I can understand that back in the 80's, but is that still the case today? I would have thought with he $$$ being spent on a restoration, markings, stencils and colours would all be taken into account? Trevor Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Duncan B Posted March 17, 2016 Share Posted March 17, 2016 I remember seeing her and the rest of the Strathallan collection in the late 1970's (possibly '77 or '78). They all still lived outside at the time and I was amazed by the size of the collection. Duncan B Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nick Kermit Weeks had got to be one the best warbird conservation advocates out there. He had a Facebook page and was recently showing off his Lancaster bits.
