This is the place where the majority of the warbird (aircraft that have survived military service) discussions will take place. Specialized forums may be added in the new future

Or in non-Press Release English, Postwar Handley Page Hastings parts will form the basis of reconstructing two Handley Page Halifaxes.
It's great news and a great achievement, but doesn't deserve to be overcooked.
Really been noticing for a while now how JDK never seems to miss an opportunity to piss on someone else's parade. Lighten up buddy, your negativity isn't enhancing anything.

we will begin the new project of rebuilding our batch of Bristol Hercules engines to running standard. We hope to have the first Hercules running by the summer of 2012 as we have some fine engineers volunteering for such a unique task with Hercules experts in the UK standing by to advise us in our refurbishment efforts.
Congrats on the find - so, will you be keeping a running Hercules on a stand as part of the display? Either way I'll be looking forward to the video next year!
