Fairey Battle tail wheel, normally confused with Hurricane.

Good idea if a MOD can move to the Histerical forum

I love this project, dedication to the full and thank you for your updates, keep em coming.

But why was it buried with loose wing bolts?

Bruce, there was a lake of crates available so one hole fitted all !!!!

As T1940 said, must be dump finds, I found loads of interesting stuff at the dump for Willingale

Maybe the one from Thorndon Park near Brentwood, I remember seeing it in the 70s !

It sat beside the hole where someone had removed it, there is also one at the Tilbury fort museum which sits outside, but I think that one had been painted black.
Amazing relic

I thought SL was for ‘Salt Lake’ as in Salt Lake city

Thank you for the replies, makes sense about half term. It does look like eBay and paypal have their own issues,
