This is a very good point missed by many, particularly if you were looking at justification in finding funds from other sources (grants, lottery etc). Hence when we did the BBC article (and had plans for the TV news) we focussed on both it RAF and BA heritage, as that is it’s unique point.

But as you infer, taking out ZD241, ZA147 and ZA150 (Dunsfold housing estate), you still have complete examples (for now) in Germany, Brooklands, Duxford, Cosford and Newquay.
