I’ve just finished reading “Spitfire Stories” and they are still saying in there about Spitfires being buried in crates in trenches and in mine shafts at Oakey in Australia at the end of their use when they were being scrapped.
Keep us updated as to whether you get your copies Stan. If you don’t have any success, I am pretty sure that I will have them somewhere in storage and will dig them out, but it will be a bit of a mammoth task. Good luck.
That’s interesting Mark12, so did Alfred Davies and the Hadly works build the complete Spitfires, fabricating them theirselves or were they doing the assembly of parts fabricated by other contractors?
Tassiebloke sounds a bit doubtful but great fun following it up and even better if something does materialise. Had a fellow ask me if I wanted a 1000cc Matchless once, so said yes and thought nothing more about it, then 18 months later he turned up and asked was I still interested in it and sure enough it was real and I bought it. So always worth following it up even if it turns out to be something other than a Spit. Good luck.
