Did anyone follow up on that German undercart behind the barn/workshop at Brick Kiln Farm? I believe someone who knows John Aggie was gonna look into it? Moggie?
I remember the wheel being somewhat larger than a fighter main wheel, but not quite as large as a B17 unit… & the struts etc attached to both sides of it, It’l be a bit of a barsteward if Aggie weighed it in for scrap….

Was there at the weekend, but a bit too preoccupied to go looking for undercarts.
Have built good relationship with the estate people though.

I lived there in the early 80’s & found it behind the barn. I once asked John if he wanted me to drag it off to Duxford but got nowhere with that idea when he wanted to know how much I was going to pay him for it… He did tell me it was some German aircraft that crashed in the area. No idea where the crash site is tho. John probably has all the info. Is he still living in that bus?
The last time I saw it (about ’85), it was laying behind the barn/workshop by the beet pad. IIRC the tire was French Dunlop & the undercart was kinda emerald green.
Have you been to the original Aggie family house in the woods? It was hit by a bomb in WWII & there’s a HUGE crater where the back of the house was, the front etc is still standing.

Not me. Tell me more.
I’ve organised a mini fly-in at Rougham for the 1st May.
Anybody coming?
