[ATTACH=CONFIG]235589[/ATTACH]THIS IS THE DUMP IN 1977, AN MR3 A T4 AND THE REMAINS OF ANOTHER BADLY BURNT

When I was there from circa 75 the MR3 still had a couple of engines and at least one prop.

The T4 illustrated was not burnt at the time , though there was also the skeletal remains of the other T4 with mostly nose left and adajacent.

There was also a Meteor two seat with greenhouse canopy, sitting on the deck and can’t recall if had wings.

Other items included a Riley pathfinder and a strange Victorian looking 3 wheel engine powered ‘horse’ carriage, probably worth a fortune if it still existed! I think there was a lot of other stuff there at the time, though not as interesting at the time to an eleven year old as your own private Shackleton to play in! I remember passing years later to see the MR3 on fire with a Whirlwind and crew member dangling, could have been the mid 80’s.

There was a lot of oil etc soaked ground around at the time related to the fire training I expect. Hardly surprising it is baren, same as some crash sites.
