    Might this be the one…..

    http://www.bbc.co.uk/history/ww2peopleswar/stories/91/a6377691.shtml

    Just a thought, as Caterham and Croydon both begin with a ‘C’.

    I understand that they also have a Martinet cockpit. Has anyone seen that recently?

    Sadly, I can only see one positive way out of this and it isn’t going to happen. There are far two many ifs involved, but please allow me to dream. So,
    IF the RAF were to come to some arrangement with Lincolnshire CC to convert Scampton into an aviation heritage centre, and
    IF it moved the BBMF there, and IF XH558 could be flown there, and

    If the Panton family were to base NX611 there after she has flown,

    Then maybe, just maybe, that centre could be commercially viable. But, as I said, it is only going to happen in my dreams!

    I haven’t heard anything back from the pm I sent to BigRob. If anyone knows him, could they please point him to his pm box. I keep forgetting to check mine and I’m guessing he is doing the same!

    No – he should
    not – he might pollute the water!

    BigRob, I am indeed still very interested and will attempt to send you a pm.

    Ossington – I do have some information, May I ask why you are interested and which aircraft type you are looking for serial / code letter tie-ups you are looking for?
    Cheers to both, Andrew

    An excellent idea, although perhaps – if people don’t want to do this – could they perhaps just put a note in the item’s packaging explaining what it is and asking that it should be sent to an aviation museum. That way it’s historic interest might be recognised. Anyone with a heart will probably comply with the wish, anyone more materialistic motives will probably try to sell it. Either way it might reduce the risk of the item being simply thrown away. Just a thought…..

    Do we know if this (very funny) story is true, or just a myth? I do hope it’s true!

    Thanks to all, much appreciated. I should also have asked, do any of them contain any sort of log of the history of each aircraft, i.e. based on their Movements Cards?

    Thanks Dave, I like the logic and will go with that if nothing more certain comes up. What’s interesting is that the Unit was apparently allocated the code ‘9M’, the Spitfire doesn’t carry it. Unfortunately, photos of this Unit are almost non-existent. Thanks again. Andrew

    Could one of these be the sole Blackburn B20 prototype? Although, as I believe that at least one of its RR Vulture engines has already been recovered, it’s location may already have been known. Just a thought….

    According to their newsletter they’re putting their Su22 Fitter and F4 Phantom on static display as well as the Buccaneer and Hunter….
