Hurricane R4085 relics Billericay crash

Every now and again I attempt to reattach/confirm history and provenance to items in the museum that we are not 100% sure about, this forum is a very good resource and I am glad to say a few items have had their historys reunited with thanks to forum members on here.

Does anyone know who excavated Hurricane R4085 many moons ago? we have a few cockpit related relics that we would like to confirm if possible.

Thanks again to everyone who has helped in the past and hopefully now too!

The bait is cast now to wait for a bite!

I don’t believe they are still active; something in the back of my mind says Ramsden, the Cater museum in the high street (if it’s still going) had photos, of the crash site I believe

The label doesn’t say much only it burnt out. Are there any members of Tilbury Fort around? I take it has since closed?

Where did this one come down? we used to have a field in Ramsden (generally considered to be Billericay except if you come from Billericay that is) and they excavated (two different groups) a 110 the latter group removing an engine back to Tilbury fort; South East Aviation something or other, it may have been them.
