The Hurricane rings a bell, but I think that was Woking Squadron (I think). I'm sure we did the tidy up, when I was a Staff Cadet at Kenley, so that had to be after 1981.
I imagine anything like a Hurricane, would have gone to an "F" or Founder squadron. I remeber for years, we tried to get a Hunter from Dunsfold for a gate guard, but BAe always said no, cos they were still selling them!

This frame was definitely smaller.

There was a lot of stuff knocking around in ATC units, at Surbiton, we had Lancaster Radios for communication. In fact, a lot of Surrey Wing squadrons had kit like that. I think it's still worth going for a root around at some ATC squadrons.

I seem to remember a Fireflash missile on a display plinth too.
