    3 miles eh, I’ve never tried to walk an estuary before, I’ll have to invest in a pair of inflatable trousers. Would certainly be interested in it’s exact position. So if there’s evidence on the surface, it can’t be that deeply covered. So, when the tide is out, is it high and dry or still in the soup? Sorry 101 questions. But I do have a shovel and no consideration for my own safety.

    If it’s OK and you end up going, give me a shout and I’ll get me wellies out too! 😎

    Hi Nosediver,
    I have some info on the airframe they have at Hooton, but it’s somewhere around the house, thanks to certain children! I’ll try to dig it out…

    There is a pretty complete cockpit section, with the instrument panel and the armoured front glass, as well as some personal effects excavated with the site… there’s a small display in one of Hootons buildings, with the history of the Spit, as well as some info on the pilot.

    Hi chaps, my first post here… there was an article in Flypast earlier this year IIRC about a/c wrecks in the Mersey… don’t think they mentioned the Dee side though.
    I live on the Wirral (Neston) and am also interested to know if any digs are likely to be arranged.
    The old RAF Hooton Park is worth a visit, (have to pre-arrange) they have the 3 hangars still there, in desperate need of repair
