I expect it crashed after being intoxicated flying through a cloud of 'smoke' over your house! :smt045 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

However, it was found that the road and underlying sewers might not withstand the weight of the lorry/crane combo aswell as the weight of the boat.....so in the garden it remains........

TopGun Posted 12 November, 2008 Share Posted 12 November, 2008 There used to be a real secret at Sholing railway station on the side that goes to Fareham.... The closed up station house there was home to a model railway society and their model railway (with model landscaping, trees and people etc) was about 10m long and had a terminus station etc. Vandals would have loved it. Not sure it's still there though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wow, I always thought it had crashed there during the war, learn something new everyday. i was at Heathfield with her son Christopher!!! You're not 'that' old then Did Mrs King ever give you any stick insects? My greatest achievement at that school was tripping her up in the corridor and breaking her either ankle/leg can't remember which one now. and yet clearer;) http://www.demobbed.org.uk/image_display.php?otype=1143&types=972,1143&aircraft=17993 It's smiling.
