Here you go – there’s that fuselage section and the mortal remains of a jet engine shown as well

Mighty Mites seem quite rare over here – and the jeeps look good for data-plate restorations

Can you provide a link? The Wessex is a MK.1 section that was formerly with the museum at Cleethorpes. The ‘fuselage section’ is probably the remains of teh Canberra B.6 fuselage they had . The Tallboy desperately belongs at East Kirkby.
