In Oklahoma City is a Huey on the restaurant. The 4077th.
I'll bet they do a great sausage and MASH...

On the North side of the A40 west of London,there was a building,about 10 storeys high,belonging to Vanguard Removals,and they sometimes had 'something to catch the eye' on the roof.I remember once seeing a Hawker Hunter there,and on another occasion,a Sherman tank.

Hunter is still there I think - pity it isn't a Vanguard! Vickers rather than Standard, though a Vultee would be nice...

Google Streetview from March this year shows a TARDIS where it looks like the Hunter was placed.

Oh yes - the 3D aerial view which must be fairly recent shows the Hunter so exchanged in the last couple of years.

Slightly OT, but also resident until recently at Vanguard in Greenford along with the Hunter (though too heavy to go up on the roof) was ex 29/56 Sqn Lightning F.3 XP745, reportedly in superb condition. It was transported to Bristol in March of this year to be the centrepiece of a new Vanguard facility there, due to open on 2nd September.
