That memorial to P/O Maffett should never of been removed from display especially through the 80th anniversary of The Battle of Britain and whoever took that decision should be sacked.
That Hurricane told a million stories all in one of the Battle, the men, the sacrifice the pain that those flying suffered, the last moments.
I wonder how many of those few who left their aircraft lucky enough to survive and seeing the their aeroplane dive into the ground or sea thinking, “i’m so glad I got out’ ,Gerald Maffett got out but his parachute failed to open possibly from being to low, he gave his life and those remains those stark remains should be on display, could it be that those aircraft remains upset a few snowflakes?
Taking the Battle of Britain hall away was a wrong move, it should of been maybe upgraded more added but not destroyed, even The Luftwaffe did not destroy the few.
Sean I doubt any of us here would not welcome the return of P3175 along with some of our long departed forum members long gone.
