    nice choice Daniel, Elvington is only an hour away from me and is now the yorkshire air museum was there last year i'll see what pics of the Halifax i have, though i think it was only a replica.

    here's their website

    At last, a Hallibag! Great choice Daniel, and still a pretty good kit after more than forty odd years. Just one thing though, 158 Sqn weren't based at Elvington. The aircraft 'Friday the 13th' was with the Squadron when they were at Lissett. The museum at Elvington, a former Halifax base, is where the current 'Friady' is based , built from genuine fuselage and other sections of a Halifax, with Hastings wings and other bits and pieces. Have a look at the web-site Karl posted, as there's an internal 360 degree tour of the Halifax which is not only brilliant to see, but very useful for internal details.
