It was on the University of London Air Squadron Late 60’s early 70’s. ( I did my first solo on type in it Dec 70)

[QUOTE=D1566;1322131]I really cannot imagine anyone going to the trouble of burying these airframes when the local scrappies would undoubtedly be quite happy to take them. QUOTE]

Quite simple -it would be seen as profiteering and thus have been illegal.

My late mother was a WAAF comms operator in Air Traffic at Docking and Bircham Newton during the war.
The Squash court Ghosts etc. were certainly established stories during her time.

“but the loss of the Canberra’s night photoflash capability “
The R.A.F. Phantom had an electronic photoflash capability: albeit with the flash in the nose of a fuel tank.

Interesting to read all this as it has apparently corrected Hamilton Fyfe (timekeeper for Bleriot’s 1909 flight) who, later in “Aerial Wonders of Our Time” (1930’s ) wrote of Latham after his two dunkings in the Channel in 1909:
” He flew for a short while longer, then was killed hunting in Africa.”

Remember it well. All filmed rearwards facing :then run backwards.
The disconcerting feature was the plainly visible jet exhaust plume dancing around towards the top of the frame.

Thanks indeed DH for the link.
Of course there is a Wapiti of sorts with the Indian Air Force museum.
The Wapiti at least started off with DH 9a ( “Nine Ack”) Wings as a cheap and cheerful stop-gap for an over stretched and cash-strapped pre expansion air force ( sounds familiar?)
It would indeed be lovely to see one of the D.H. 9a/Westland Wapiti/Wallace family recreated in the U.K. .

There certainly was a Wapiti Fuselage at Hendon some years ago : it was near the Southampton IIRC.
