Pimlico pub – garden in late 80's

Back in the late 1980’s I used to drive to work past a pub in a Hertfordshire village called Pimlico, which is some 2 miles outside Hemel Hempstead. The pub is / was called the Swan I think and had a number of aircraft in the garden.

From memory there was a Vampire / Venom, piston Provost, a Hunter(?) and either a Whirlwind or Wessex helicopter. There may have been more as I’d always meant to stop and look but never did!

The aircraft were cleared in the early 90’s, but does anyone know what was there and where they went? They looked in good condition and the Provost (at least) had signs warning kids not to climb on it ‘in the interests of preservation’

An information would be helpful!

I think the Provost is now the example at Gatwick .
