I also used to play on Kenley in the 50's and remember either a Hurricane or Spitfire as referred to by reynolds no. I remember the large wreck as a Lanc but I may be wrong - I know you could get inside it and manually operate the rudders or elevators.
exciting times for a young lad (aged 4 during the B.of B.)
My mother and 4 older siblings lived in Caterham during the B of B (dad in the army) and the family's house was destroyed during a raid on Kenley. My mother only just got into the Anderson before the house was hit, and I often think, if she hadnt I wouldnt be here now (check my age!). By the time the V1 s arrived aw ditor they had been evacuated to the West Country
