As I mentioned when the RAF left Burnaston there were Many wooden sheds left behind, over a dozen. These had been workshops storage and dorms. Upon leaving the RAF filled these with bits left over.There were Tigers, Magisters and engines all in varoius standards of disrepair and dismantalling. Many of them were just crash wreckage. Lunch time for us apprentices was to explore this wonderland !! After a while and we we got to know what was in each shed we took some of the engineers around and showed them what we thought was the more interesting bits. We duly dragged all the likely bits in to a shed that we cleared and rebuilt a Magister from these bits in our spare time !! The end result was G-ANWO !!
I have photo (.jpg) if someone hints how to attach !!
