Just near that big radar head (where the VOR is now) were some old dispersals, one of which had the remains of a Swordfish on it.

Remember cycling round there one day and seeing the remains of an inverted Viscount, partly covered by a tarpaulin. It had been practicing engine failures, and the crew got it wrong. It rolled inverted and I think 2 were killed.
