If the architects plans I have seen this afternoon come to fruition, I think I know where the Battle of Britain material from Hendon will eventually end up – the new Battle of Britain Exhibition Centre at Uxbridge. Looks like the RAF and Hillingdon Council are in the process of building a dedicated BoB set up, by pretty massively extending the bunker facility there by building on top of it. Remember who told you first folks!!!!
Yup!…. a certain book by a certain author has more than a few! I also gathered from the late John Stride that the original short nacelle rears are still on the aircraft underneath the ‘extensions’!
I’ve known Peter for a lot of years – he was always bright and cheerful, but recently it became harder and harder to get a smile or chuckle from him. Always helpful, and happy to share, it was a pleasure to have known you mate!
