Not mentioned in the ATC listings either was a Hawker Hector with a South Coast ATC unit. Post war it was chopped up and the engine tipped into an air raid shelter and (I think) subsequently built over. I think the fuselage was burnt, then the tubing crunched up and heaved in with the engine. In 1975 I recovered a number of substantial bits of wing structure buried along a hedgeline and I suspect a good deal more is still buried there. Anyone got any idea as to its identity? Andy Saunders.
