And HA-MKE not looking too happy.
Looks more like eight to me.;)
Think that there are ten at Hawarden.
Possibly the plastic one in the american air museum at Duxford.
Ten years ago I was told by someone ripping up some old peri track that if you use recycled concrete you were more likely to win contracts. Interestingly I was also told that bomb damaged London was a source of hardcore for the airfield building efforts in East Anglia. Recycling is nothing new – look at how many old castles were leveled for building stone.
Very true about the rubble from london, Many times at Shepherds grove we dug up wartime concrete and found bricks underneath with paint and wallpaper on them still. There is good money to be made in recycling concrete and asphalt.
Most crane hire firms charge by the hour with a six or eight hour minimum charge. If it had been a few years ago i would have moved it for you myself for a few quid.
The last one is Llandwrog.
Another easy one thats Mona.:D
You could well be right.
Take a look at the photos and maps on this link and compare to the photo in post #82.

Quite a resemblance. Changi was one of the few overseas posts still left in the early 70s.
Thanks for the link, certainly easier to see that it’s the right place with those pic’s.
Second one is Spitalgate/Grantham
Soupdragon the second one is Spilsby.
The unamed airfield in post no. 82- Is it the old Raf airfield at Changi Singapore.
Newton should still be in good condition.
Cambridge airport was used for Piece of cake, West Raynham was used for Over here and possibly A perfect hero.
Great pic’s, good to see that she still gets some tlc now and then. Certainly an impressive sight as you drive past it.
Please excuse my ignorance, but is this the “plastic” hurricane mentioned ?
That one isn’t plastic.
When I was there a month ago there was a “plastic” spitfire outside between the hangers coded DU__X ? may be this one ? Keith.
Yes it is that one, although it’s been tied down a little better this time.
