LSP_Ray Posted January 12, 2019 Share Posted January 12, 2019 Great subject! Interesting to see how you tackle that nose. Make some extras; I bet you could sell some! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bigglesthepilot Posted January 18, 2019 Share Posted January 18, 2019 I am looking forward to following your build. My grandfather flew 11 operations as an A.G./Dispatcher for 301 Squadron in BZ965 as part of his second tour between October 1944 and March 1945. The period he flew in that aircraft was after it underwent an overhaul and emerged as GR-V. Iain 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hi, Sadly I have no photos except what is already available on the Internet. It seems that my grandfather did not take a camera with him to Italy for his second tour. Like you, I have been struggling trying to find suitable references. I have only one photo of BZ965 after the overhaul to work off which shows the mission markings towards the end of its service life. The background in the image appears to be black and I presume this is where the decal manufacturers have extrapolated to come up with the brown, green and black camouflage for the aircraft. For the interior I have never seen any photos around the fueslage well hatch and unless something comes to light will be basing the interior upon some information I have about the special duties Halifaxes used by 148 and 301 Squadrons and US special operations Librators (search "Operation Carpetbagger" on Youtube for a 15 minute movie about them).
