These photos were taken by Anrew Wright inside the Halifax III that is being refurbished at the Yorkshire Air Museum at Elvington in the north of England. The Royal Canadian Air Force Museum in Trenton, Ontario, is also conducting restoration of another Halifax. This is a major undertaking by the Halifax Aircraft Association, which is a dedicated group of volunteers who recovered NA 337 from a fjord in Norway. Their goal is to restore the aircraft to it's original condition. There are only three Halifax left in the world and NA337 is the most authentic.
It's a later version than the one I flew, and obviously a lot cleaner! However, there is much that is the same.
