Excavation of Hampden P1206

and the English version:
http://www.wkdankbaar.nl/english.html

However, the Dutch site seems to contain more information, and updates. Babel seems to do a good job at translating it (just enter the url into the translate web page box, and choose Dutch to English)

Not something you see everyday!

There is a restoration of a Russian recovery happening in East Kirkby, I think and the Canadian link below is a cosmetic resto using limited resources/parts.

CMF Collection - Handley Page Hampden
The East Kirkby restoration is principally parts from the Swedish Hampden wreck found in 1976

You are spot on, BC1. RAF bomber forced to land on mountain Tsatsa - sorry to mislead, chaps.

I don't know where I was getting the Russian thing from. Ah, yes I do...P1344 recovered in Sept 91 for the RAFM. Peter Arnold pic. I've got this pic in an old FlyPast somewhere which is where I must have read it.
