Thanks to all, email sent Elliott with the info you were after and thanks Alan I think the St Albans head one is out, the Channel one however ties up with something I was told a while back about a mid air collision and a pilot being picked up by a dockyard tug. Not going to draw any conclusions yet but will be chasing this one down. As a result of this thread it looks likely the tail wheel assembly will end up in a museum which in my opinion is just where it should be, fantastic! The sidescan image I thought might interest some and shows the main area of wreckage including engine, wing section, main undercarriage and a mass of debris. To give you an idea of scale it is 100 metres from left to right. Sadly the scan loses some of its detail due to the resolution but it gives you an idea of what you can expect to see. Was supposed to be across the Channel but hey ho good old British weather!!
