Delving into my old paperwork,I see Thruxton was under "Western Air Training" in 1962,becoming Wiltshire School of Flying later in 63.I think Denis Neville still owns one of the only Jackaroos left in the UK??Most were converted back to Tiger Moth Spec.With regards to the 3 Mosquitos,there were in the 80s 3 burnt out wrecks still,just about identifiable by their Centre Sections and U/C mounts still in the long grass just north of the now Grain store old Hangar.Maybe removed after the Race Circuit was developed,but these were never sold and burnt in situ.Very Sad!!!??Of course the Jackaroo was always known as the "Thruxton Jackaroo".
