GTTS:

I remember seeing the aircraft intact in the morning and when I returned from work that afternoon it was on the trailer. By the time I got my camera the trailer with the wing on it had gone!

Incidentally, the building in the picture was called 'The Pickle Factory', now demolished, because it was said that it had been built back to front - the large doors are on the opposite side to the airfield! and as a result, the foreman in charge of the job was 'in a pickle'

Another interesting fact about Henlow was that the control tower was constructed from Hurricane packing cases, I believe aircraft were shipped to Henlow and assembled there, that was the story when I was there anyway.
