FINALS HANDLEY PAGE HALIFAX

130 FLYPAST May 2015

The Yorkshire Air Museum

at Elvington rolled out its

magnifi cent recreation of

Handley Page Halifax III LV907

Friday The 13th, alongside

re-enactors, on March 13 (which

was, appropriately, a Friday)

for a night photography shoot.

The original LV907 completed

128 ‘ops’ with 158 Squadron. The

museum’s recreation of this

worthy subject is based on the

fuselage of Halifax II HR792, part

of which was famously used

as hen coop by a local crofter.

The wings originally belonged

to another Handley Page type,

Catterick-based Hastings TG536.

Three Halifax units fl ew from

Elvington during World War Two.
