More information of where the pictures were taken and the circumstances might throw some light on the type of aircraft although a Meteor nose wheel seems to fit the bill.

Was this taken from a ‘dig; a scrap yard or ploughed up locally ?

If Labour win the next election are they not going to scrap the idea anyway ? At least thats what Sir Keith Starmer said, obviously he is after the votes with the local and not so local population and with an election supposedly later this year it makes you wonder whether this is all delaying tactics. The way Rishi and Co are performing that might well be the case

There is also a Red Arrows hawk at Wickenby, no serial visible  on the photo I have seen but I was told this was the Scampton Gate Guardian. Did they have two, or is this a fibreglass replica, it certainly looks real on the photo

Looking at the general condition it looks like it hasnt had much use so I would go for a post war aircraft. I wonder if this is a left over stock from a cancelled  order and has been in store. The plexiglass doesnt look that ancient either

The seller is from the Kidderminster area if that offers any clues

I Gather the idea is to exhume the dogs remains and place them in the care of 617 Sqdn at Marham. If it comes to that its possibly the best outcome but why should we be giving up or relocate our our heritage to avoid upsetting the minority. You cannot change history good and bad and why should we. I don’t see any American being upset by the word ‘Yank’ or us Brits as ‘Limeys’ or the French ‘Frog’, even the Russian ‘Ruskies’ So why are we so concerned about an obsolete word associated with the Black community, a lot of them are proud of the word. Leave the grave where i  is, if the story behind it isnt relayed to them they will never be the wiser. Anyway at the moment its all academic, we are waiting for that all important decision from the High court
