Yeovilton.

Genghis Sr. was an apprentice then design engineer at Supermarine South Marsden (now the Honda car factory, just south of Swindon) and worked on both the Attacker and Scimitar. I've taken my brother's kids there to see "the aeroplanes that grandad built". They're very well looked after and displayed, in my opinion (the aeroplanes also).

I took this photograph in June 2012.
