Yes, it was in poor nick. I’d hoped some of the internals were worth rescuing but I expect it got smelted. High tech meteorite sounds about right. I did take some video at the time but I’m hopeless at hanging on to things.

Last time I was there was with Elliott Smock, last year. the Balliol centre section was still there, in the big hole – we recognised it from a Boulton Paul data plate, and various other smallish aircraft parts were scattered around – including a rather nifty skin panel with a pair of cannon ports in it. Sea Hawk or Hunter maybe. I’m having that away if I get round to it.
