Sorry don’t know why i wrote ‘expansion period’ :o, too early in the morning i guess… but you get my drift. Yes its the later 60’s type that i’m referring too.

If its anywhere near the Red Lion pub itself (which is incidentally in Whittleford, not Sawston) then i wouldn’t be too hopeful now, as the pub is encircled by a hotel, railway station carpark, highways agency road gritting yard and of course the A505 main road.

But on the opposite side of the A505 and slightly further along is a small yard owned by a local Duxford man. If i see him i’ll ask if he knows anything about a pit or indeed aircraft remains being buried nearby.

You forgot ‘Debbie does Dallas’ and ‘The Assmaster’ Moggy. Oh hang on…. they’re my likes :o:D

Rob

Very nice work guys. And whilst browsing for stuff the other night i came cross this rather nice pic of a Whirlibomber.

Hi Rob

The sand pit/quarry, was situated between Duxford & Sawston, referance came from an old copy of wrecks & relics “or possibly Control column”, I seem to remember the number of Siskin frames was 2.

Great to see that your still finding bits & pieces for your Wyvern, keep up the good work.

Cheer’s.

Cheers Bob. It was the mention of a pub that threw me. And the only one i know of between Sawston and Duxford is the Red Lion near the railway station.
Intriguing story though.

Rob

Thanks James. It mentioned Hermes in a separate incident but i wasn’t sure if the wing fold incident was the same carrier.

Rob

Great. Hendon can at last get their Blackburn Beverley under cover. Oh.. hang on……:rolleyes:
