Mark,

I cannot even recall a Spitfire being there. Where was it domiciled? I certainly did not log it. But then I realise I did not log any of the Mosquitos!!!

Here are one or two more for you. I do not have that many but what I have you may see.

1 Hawker P.1052 VX272 on 14/03/55.
2 A view of yours truly by the cockpit on 14/03/55. What a sweet litte boy!
3 Hawker P.1067 with Philip (Percy) Hoyle standing by it on 17/11/54. If anyone has any information about Percy I would be most interested to hear.
4 Hawker P.1067 inside the New Workshops.
5 Anson T22 7016M ex VS600 on the airfield on 17/09/55 for air display.
6 Also on display on 17/09/55 the Cheetah X engine I stripped and put back together. Oh what a clever boy!

The first three were all taken behind the New Workshops.

The Lincoln was still there when I left in July 1957 but it does not appear in the photo in Halton 1985 by Mark12 taken in 1958. so unless it had been moved it had gone by then.
