Or the BOAC Stratocruiser that landed at Stretton instead of Ringway ……

Sorry for resurrecting an old thread but I thought that the restoration of 34070 ‘Manston’ to running order at the Swanage Railway was worthy of mention on here, see here Their next project? 34053 ‘Sir Keith Park’

The GWR named some of their Castle class locos after the BoB a/c, ie, Spitfire,Hurricane etc, however, I don’t think that any of these have survived.

5080 ‘Defiant’ survives in preservation, though is currently not in working order. Info

Am not too far from Cheshire when I am at home – can you send me some details.

wcfcfan is correct. Trespassing is a civil offense, not a criminal offense. Despite what all the signs say, you cant be prosecuted for a civil offense, and you therefore cant be prosecuted for trespassing… That not to say yo cant go to court for trespassing… But it will be civil not criminal! Or at least thats how I understand the situation!

I know that trespass on a railway (in the UK) is a criminal offence, as opposed to a civil one. I would imagine that Airfields and Dockyards would be a similar case?

Wrexham has a road on a new estate on the site of the former Watery Road goods yard named after David Lord (Arnhem VC)

The industrial estate in Burscough, Lancs has a Ringtail Road commemorating the former Fleet Air Arm base of the same name.

Sealand had a Hunter – not sure if it has gone with the base closing? Is the Lightning still outside Teeside Airport (Middleton St George?)?
