That wouldn’t happen to be Dean Hill (East Dean?) The Naval Arms Store. Did some stuff in a workshop up there a year or two ago.
Sorry for the delay!!, err not to sure will investigate some more, I have seen a close up pic of the dornier at Hurdwick farm, Devon Aircraft Research and Recovery team have a nice item from this A/C, think it is an hydraulic actuator 🙂

As in upside down and back to front? I see what you mean and that kinda makes sense now.

Interesting to note that the damaged outer wing panel has been discarded in one of the pictures. Also, someone has nicked the wheels at some stage in its display journeying!
I think in the Blackpool shot the wings are the wrong way round.

Later the Dornier was put on show at Sailsbury and at Dean park.

As promised (I think in the other Me 109 thread!) here is the image of Mr Elbers’ Me 109 after its crash-landing cunningly disguised as a hedge. Its post here, rather than in the other thread, makes more sense as Elbers’ 109 is shown in some of the above posts when on display in the UK.

This Dornier was shot down by Flight Lieutenant Minden Vaughn Blake who was based at St Eval and flew Hurricanes with 238 squadron (B Flight), Blake shot it down and it crash landed at Hurdwick farm in Devon near Brentor.
Later the Dornier was put on show at Sailsbury and at Dean park.
More info if you need it 🙂
