last year one of those was dug up from my local WW2 bombing range...it still had the wheels on it...I emailed the local RAF base and was directed to the RAF Chief/Tech in charge...he hasnt replied to my messages..we went down to range to have a look see but it was locked away in a container...the local know-all suggested they would get a 5 figure sum for it...because of its rarity I offered £500.00 for it....we would have cleaned it and done some remidial work and then it could sit in the local defunct regimental barracks(museum)...however that was last year and we still havnt heard anything at all...we also understand from an old local that there is also a couple of tanks down there as well as old buses,trucks etc.....it was the foremost bombing and rocket range prior to the invasion of europe....some of the spent rockets apear to be fabricated from concrete afixed to solid shot 75mm heads...we are told the RAF bomb disposal tem will be there for at least another 50 years...that gives you some idea of the ordanance still there...best regards malcolm
