It probably is Netheravon then.
DTWH - it was a brass Spitfire which went missing; on a plinth on the plateau in front of the mess said to be at the exact point where Cody started it all ie started his first takeoff run (although some sources say he did a short hop to get up there in the first place!). They left the Spit there until a suitable place at Boscombe could be prepared, but by the time this happened it had gone. I drove through the old mess area about once a week and it was there the week before it went missing. Don't know if they ever found it though.
