Douglas, Scotland

63 MU was based at RAF Carluke, a large hanger & storage area was located on Airdrie Road Carluke, the hanger may been demolished recently.
Several years I was told that skips full of aircraft parts from Carluke (large metal sections, seats, canopies) were in a contractors yard in Biggar (quite near to Carluke),all were scrapped (where??), I was given a home made trolley which had been used in the yard for many years, the wheels had 5 cut outs & the hubs had traces of white paint, the hubs were marked AH2061 Issue 26, possible Mk1 /Mk5 Spitfire?
Douglas is near to to Carluke/Biggar, It is possible that parts were buried in the area, the metal detector is ready!!
