I went to the birmingham museum in febuary of 2006. I had to ask the front office to see it. It was just the unrestored nose. The wings are on display outside uncovered? That is a bad move. I hope they restore it atleast to where it is a fully assembled wrecked airplane. Thanks for the pictures

What is that? Is it a Halifax? What's the history of it?

The top turret looks in pretty good shape too... is that the original glass there? It is amazing what cold fresh water can do to preserve a plane... the paint is in great shape considering the age!
