Anyone investigated dumpsites at .....

abandoned airfields lately?

The stories about the many dumpsites on disused airfields around Britain still fascinates me. Despite all the interesting stories, are there actually any activities recently where parts have been unearthed?

Little Snoring has yielded many interesting parts dug up from pits. Tony Agar for instance found his cowling panels for his Mosquito rebuild. Furthermore what happened to the dozens of Typhoon firewalls that were found about a decade ago. Where they sent for scrap?

FlyPast promised many years ago to do an article but nothing has ever been done about that.
