Re the Canberra photo earlier. I wonder if anyone either at Blackbushe in the 50s or elsewhere saw a Canberra being 'turned round'. Some Canberras had a cartridge starter when being turned round away from their normal airfield. I watched one being changed at Farnborough once and it was HUGE compared to your usual 'Chipmunk' sized one; I would guess it was about 10 inches long and about 4 inches in diameter. They'd parked a visiting Canberra right outside the tower so I was able to observe as the navigator got the old one out and inserted the new one.

I have a Canberra cartridge. It came from the Concorde "chase plane" Canberra at Filton,WJ627 I think it was.

The story of Hangar 3 is one of deliberate neglect, even though it's a grade 2 listed building. The owners of the airfield want to develope much of the airfield for housing. The recent collapse following years of neglect was inevitable and I suspect, welcomed by it's owners. Can I suggest you look at the Save Old Sarum Facebook group if you want to read more about the whole sordid affair.

Spitfire flights: my imagination is the nearest I will get to a sortie, unless there is a kindly benefactor out there?!
