Thanks for that. Have emailed the school this morning, so hopefully they might be able to tell more about the aeroplane or at least give us the CCF unit number. Spoke to the gentlemen last night again in the village and they were all adamant that the aeroplane was in the school grounds.

Gerry,

We could always make her a Summer House and then you could have your Spitfire. When in the house, it was visible from nearly every window, so it might have to go around the back……

Thanks to you all for your valued and quick assistance. Think I now have enough to go on. Also looking at Spitfire 1B R6762 coded PW_E which collided with a P-47 in the circuit at Eshott 12/04/1944.

Thanks so much, gives me an insight into the size and shape of the pen. Harrowbeer is only a few miles from me, can virtually see it from the other side of the Tamar, so will go and have a look, perhaps when it stops raining.

Someone else has very kindly sent me another illustration but this one shows two different sizes as opposed to the Harrowbeer examples. But then reading the webpage, it states that there were local variations. Presume that this may be the case with any airfield? The plot thickens….

Best wishes,

Martin
