Fairey Battle wreck in deepest Belgium!

Firstly, may I apologise for stepping on people’s toes as regards copyright. Not the done thing, I know.

Thing is, I’m trying to figure out if the black and white photographs that featured in a previous forum post (back in 2005 and reproduced here) depict the same aircraft as featured in or on the popular demobbed website?

http://www.demobbed.org.uk/aircraft.php?type=207

The photograph was taken by Phil Adkin circa 2009. The exact location is known, but not the owner’s identity. Can anyone help? The actual identity of the airframe is also unknown.

Again, my apologies for my copyright faux pas!

No Battle at Sywell, Bruntingthorpe, work is continuing away from public gaze!

Hi Ben,
You are correct. Sorry, got my Airfields mixed up!

Here is a picture of the ex-Strathallan Battle taken at Duxford in 1989. It was sent to Belgium in 1990

Is the TT example on the list that was imported for restoration at Sywell?
