That's just round the corner from where I live.

 

You on about the plane? I know it used to belong to Mrs King my teacher at Heathfield First School. Don't know if she still lives there.

I can see your house.

 

I expect it crashed after being intoxicated flying through a cloud of 'smoke' over your house! :smt045

Nah, the plane's been there for years, even before I was born.

How did you come across this by the way miserableoldgit?

[St Landrew]

I think that's bloody amazing. I'm assuming it's an old De Havilland Vampire [or Venom].

from what ive been told, the guy who built it did so with the intention of having it lifted out by crane and having it transported to the water. 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........

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.

Wow, I always thought it had crashed there during the war, learn something new everyday.

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.
