A friend of mine was an 'erk' when they reopened the airfield to convert it to Bloodhound SAMs. He told me An SNCO led him and others to a padlocked 'Robin' type hangar where they removed the padlock with bolt cutters. Inside they found what he described as Beaufighter 'toolkits' (not sure if he didn't actually mean spares kits) but anyway, they weren't on the inventory, so to avoid any queries my friend and the others were ordered to dig a hole and bury them. Probably still there (if the story is true and I see no reason why not)
