Locking Spitfire

When we used Locking for ATC Gliding courses at Halesland Ridge (Cheddar) there was a Mk9 (clipped wing) Spitfire that had seen operational service during the Normandy campaign. It was near the 'ASTRA' alongside the entrance road. That aircraft now flies with the BBMF. At the time it was complete with dummy pilot in full flying gear (including mae west).
I also remember lots of wooden huts and the parade ground events with trainee's holding leather holdalls.
