Did this restaurent ever exist? It was supposed to have been in Hampshire somewhere but i have not heard of it. If it did exist, is it still there?

It was just round the corner from where I live. The nose of the Dak was opposite the main bar and was in good condition and was totally complete. There was fuselarge skining and props, under cart all around the resturant area. The tail was sticking out of the ajacent Fleet Pond but was removed after numerous reports of a downed aircraft!
The food and service was crap and thankfully its a better Chef and Brewer pub now! We just have the Dak at the museum in Aldershot now.

Yes, that sounds like it. Nothing to do with aviation now then?

Was is Fleet, next to Fleet Pond. For a few years it had the tail end sticking out of the water. Sold up two years ago and now is a Chef and Brewer.
