Spitfire on its nose
I am trying to date an event at Woodvale involving a THUM Spitfire. I have a childhood memory of seeing an aircraft on its nose, it was painted dark blue and was positioned near the railway line at the edge of the airfield. I was a passenger on the train and had a good view of it. It was stabilised by ropes I think and looked like a classic nose over following some sort of excursion. I did see a photgraph of a similar event in a book many years ago.
So, does anyone have a clue as to the year? It would be summer probably. Failing that what year did they stop using Spitfires at Woodvale to give me a latest date?
