Indeed ,P.J. . A bit of ' anti ' here , as it wasnt a Nobler ( mod ) , or is it ?
Was a few In overspan for FAI , now .
BUT a HALIFAX has near identical planform to the LANCASTER ,
As he inadvertantly based it on the worst semi scale pommy R.C. Lancaster ,
It'd be a piece or proverbial to chop the tips square , and carve a few bits for the front .
The spinners are even the HALIFAX shape .
The Lancaster ( should have ) a low Tailplane , The Halifax has a High Tailplane .
The Late halifaxes were pretty good , Roomier & lower loss rate than Lancs .
Cor !
These suckers had Centaurus'es And The SAME WING ( The Fri 13th Halifax repicaer Uses One ) so the coulda donea even better Halifax ,
putting 4 x 2.000 + Hp in it .
Used to be a line up of them at Whenuapai , untill about 1970 .
