Ah, glad we haven't lost it. After all, it was built here. As an aside I 
remember at the end of the war (I was born in 1945) my father standing me on 
a bench so I could look over the high hedge around the end of the airport, 
and seeing rows and rows of parked Spitfires etc. that were now redundant.  
I assume they were scrapped, but what they would be worth now.
