    Could it be from Wellington LN553 of 1 AGS recovered from Pembrey marshes in the 80’s or 90’s?

    Could be totally wrong 🙂

    Cotteswold,

    Lovely photo of the Hurri, what was the procedure for towing with a Hurricane? I trust the photo below was not you at Cleave 🙂

    Kind regards,

    Hello Rob,

    Unfortunately not, except for some rather twisted remains protruding from a slowly recovering crater caused by the loss of a ‘B’ Flight Henley from Carew! (the serial number escapes me for the mo)

    Cleave must have one of the longest serving connection with the Henley, No.639 Sqn struggling on with them until disbandment in ’45 – the allotted Martinets failing to materialise……..

    Kind regards,

    Tim

    RAF Cleave in 1940 was dangerous indeed, as was the Henley. Pictured is L.3245 of No.1 A.A.C.U. ‘D’ Flight lost on the 01.04.1940 and whilst she ditched only 50 yds from the shore both Pilot Officer Matherson and LAC Robinson drowned in heavy seas. (Credit Bill Young Collection)

    Whilst later on the second photo details shrapnel damage to an unidentified No.2 A.A.C.U. ‘C’ Flight Battle in early ’41 Bill Coombes points out the damage.

    Kind regards,

    Tim

    I believe this appears in the Tony Butler book and is probably not detailed enough for your needs…..still a nice photo (credit: Carmel J Attard)

    Hi Pistonrob,

    Yes W.A.R.G. do indeed have a complete canopy and detachable skirting section from a Martinet as do the Pembroke Dock Sunderland Trust and the Malta Aviation Museum. If anyone knows of any further surviving sections I would be interested in recording their location.

    Kind regards,

    Tim
