    Just wondering if there is any news on the rebuild of the Prince?

    Also if ZRX61 is still on this site could he get in touch as I would like to ask him if he has access to the aircrafts log book of G-ALWH from it’s days with Sperry Gyroscope.

    Thanks all so far

    I plan to visit the Museum of Berkshire Aviation soon as I know from previous visits/research they have a bit on Spitfire production in the area but had not considered the
    Southampton Hall as yet but thanks for mentioning them another possible avenue. I have never seen mention of Harwell as a Spitfire production centre and know nothing
    of any strips around the Newbury area but will try and investigate further.

    I believe that G-AWPH is up for sale. Certainly a small add appeared in the back of a recent Flypast.

    Would I be right in thinking that the RAF Museum once had the entire front section area/nose of a Hampden poss ex AN132? or similar that was once at Bicester in the 1950/60’s that ended up being used on the example in Canada?.

    If anyone would like to know Brooklands Hurricane production ended in late October 1942 with HW247.

    I might have answered my own question so what I still need to know and I think it might be complicated and perhaps no one knows but what is the breakdown of serial numbers in the 5th Production run of Z2308-Z4018 built in tandem between Brooklands and Langley. I know that Z2521 was a Langley Hurricane but what of the others in this batch.

    Looking at Wrecks and Relics for 1961 for Cranwell

    Venom FB1 WE267/7190M and Provost WG503/7159M were both noticed outside the College workshops in February 1961, (these would seem to fit better than my other suggestions of previous Vampire and Provost).

    The Meteor visible in the background darkness of the hangar could this be EE549 also listed moving to Cranwell Station Museum 10/6/52 at this time before removal to Fulbeck in 6/58.
