Airspeed Consul TF-RPM

We went back to the Consul at Crow Stones Edge. Someone (whoever was digging at our last visit?) seems to have partially dismantled the engine at the bottom of the pit shown on our previous visit post) and taken half of it away. They had re-covered the partially dismantled engine with sheets of aluminium, and wrapped the shaft and exposed casing with plastic bags to protect it from the elements. It seems they intend to remove the lot a bit at a time...You can see more pics of this on my Flickr site.

It isn't a war grave, but all the same, this seems out of order...

Great outing today with young Matt: Found the "V1 crater" at:SK 18575 96507.
There was no crater left, it was all filled in.







We found some shrapnel up to 500mm long, though. It was much thicker stuff than the usual aircraft aluminium.
