No complete examples of the plane remain, but one that crashed in 1944 is being painstakingly reconstructed.
The process is painstaking, fraught with difficulties and highly sensitive, but after a half-century wait, a labour of love to rebuild a “missing link” in the UK’s military aviation history is coming to fruition.

My brother bombed the Tirpitz in one in 1944. He was much relieved when HMS Indefatigable was sent to the far East and they switched to Avengers.
