    There supposed to be at some point on Sunday afternoon a display by a spitfire but looking at the weather forecast i think this may now not happen.

    Funny you should say about the cessna,at the air field where i found the tyre there used to be one used for parachute drops but as the airfield was used by the raf and Canadian airforces i thought the tyre was older than it appears to be. Thanks Alan

    I do hope that everyone that has been involved in what has been one of the most exacting and authentic restorationrebuilds in recent times gets a mention,they all deserve the recognition.

    Bet andy will keep the data plate from the spit and claim ownership when its found in years to come by a child who will take the gun sight as trophy find whilst on holiday in the new multi million pound hotel built on the site of the officers mess!
