Reminds me of a tale I was told many years ago by a friend.
He'd just joined the RAF in about 1959, and his first posting was to North Coates, which had been on 'care and maintenance' for many years, and was to be re-opened as a Bloodhound (SAM) base.
A Warrant Officer (or God to young 'erks) took them to investigate a locked Robin type hangar. On cutting off the padlock, it was found to be packed full of Beaufighter spares kits. But they weren't on the inventory (and the last Beaufighter had left the UK) so the said W/O didn't want to know about them, and instructed the erks to dig a hole on the airfield and bury them!
They may still be there; who knows!
