Sounds like it. I once saw survey Anson G-AMDA trailing its magnetometer.

Sounds like a Whitley to me!

Sorry, Ian, I take back my flippant comment. I should have looked more closely at that relic!

I hope that’s not the best bit!

In case anyone hasn’t seen these. Gives an idea of what a Napier Sabre sounded like!

Love the Yankee air pirate’s over the top fuselage insignia!

The YouTube video now has a notation: “there is practically no possibility of the devastation of the plane because it is army complex – patrolled by the army.”

Apologies if this has already been pointed out here, although I don’t think it has.

I think it may be a good idea to publicise this find in the UK media in the hope that officialdom and diplomats may get involved before it is too late. It is, after all, rather more tangible than a bunch of Spitfires which may or may not prove to be aluminium powder. There is also, should it prove to be ET574, the memory of a brave man involved.
