    I cannot add anything but to say that I drove past and see it laying there, unless there were two such incidents I seem to remember it laying the other side of the A141 from the runway, was this correct, or is my mind playing tricks?

    Can anyone tell me what the average price is for a pitch at an aerojumble?
    For me as a person who has had a great interest in WWII aviation, I have collected a ton of books , parts, badges, insignia ect, and want to downsize by selling off the majority of it.

    I dont want to make a fortune, but on the other hand do not want to pay a fortune for a pitch either!

    Searching around today, found signage ‘Jumo 211d Heinkal III

    ‘That ties in with a sign liberated from the wreckage’

    🙂 someone told me they had resigned it a few weeks after I told them

    Back in 1980 I visited Flambards and there was a Jumo displayed as a Merlin, and marked up as being from a Spitfire that came down off the lizard in 1941. They were a bit put out after I told them what it really was. Perhaps that is the German engine you have?

    The parts recovered were definitely JU88, that is for certain.

    It was nothing to do with the Duxford museum Rob, it was a private venture as the dump is out of the boundary as such.

    These spoons and the complete NAAFI teacup (one of five I found) were recovered from Duxfords pre-war Dump which several of us were privileged to have dug a year or so ago. these were four feet or so deep among all sorts of domestic rubbish from the period. Above these finds were the torn up remains of newspapers that were dated April 1939 and one page told the story of German troops entering Czechoslovakia the previous month. Since these were below it is safe to assume they are pre-war relics.

    RAF Hunsdon, Hertfordshire.

    The Bell at Widford (long since demolished), the Red Lion Stanstead Abbotts,were favoured by aircrew and the Turkey C0ck in Hunsdon was a groundcrew haunt. The Turkey C0ck was originally in line with the main runway, and was demolished with the advent of twin engined aircraft using Hunsdon.

    A replacement pub was built in the high street by the AMW&B and the Licence transferred. In later years it became notorious as ‘The Crazy Pub’
