Thanks for that Paul - my main book collection is still largely inaccessible to me almost 4 years after my move, will have to get onto that. At least I did not make a complete liar of myself! Usually I can remember at least SOME kernels of the truth!

Curse you for bringing up that scrap yard comment Mr Duxbury....it causes my brain to say that somewhere in our Nissen Hut Store we have a door or hatch that someone filtched from the yard, were you party to it?
Looks like I'll have to go rummaging!
But you can redeem yourself if you can remind me was it Roolos or Cunningham's scrap yard...I'd lean towards the latter :-)

I was hoping you would have already known about the scrapyard Denys, but as I recall the exact name of the business/location was not mentioned in the AHSNZ article. Main subject was a list of rear fuselages from Harvards which were located at this yard, along with the comment that the serial numbers quoted included many that were known to be still flying or in storage at Wigram at the time, and suggesting that there must have been quite a bit of swapping around of said fuselages! Mention of the Globemaster wreckage was really just a postscript to the story. I think the article must have been in very late 50's or early 60's.
