Stormbird:
I’ve found the fate of the Rapide. SHe was written off in a crash near RAF Fraserburgh on 13 December 1942.
None of the Tiger Moths survive.
Hope that helped.

That flying wing with the swastica’s on the upper surfaces, looks amazing; where is that located, (if it still exists)?
It is one of the Horton wings that are in the states and stored for one of the large national museums.
The Bucket List – really enjoyed this one. Makes you think at times.
The Kingdom – Half way through. Not too bad so far but not as good as I thought it’d be.

There were some pens at RAF Croughton (and still extant) visible via google earth & I guess you could work out the size from there but they may not be the exact type you want.
IIRC the chap with connection to the fuselage has dealings with Air Britain – I think I’ve spoken to him in the distant past but that is all I can recall.
Some cracking shots there – thanks for sharing.
Brilliant news
Keep on recovering Steve.
Best wishes to all the family & you’ll remain in my thoughts

Thanks indeed for posting these shots.
As has been said, so nice to see some personal as opposed to production shots.
Thanks again.
In no real order:
HP.42
Shorts L.17 Scylla
Supermarine Sea Lion
Heston Phoenix
TSR-2
Hawker Typhoon
Sopwith Camel
Westland Whirlwind (rotary)
Westland Wessex (fixed wing)
Westland Wessex (rotary)

That’ll do for now.
