Spitfire Parts?

[David Ransome]

Don'y know if anyone here is into gardening but I've just picked this up from the BBC Gardeners' World website:-

Legend has it that we have buried Spitfires under our allotments, perhaps like King Arthur they sleep ready to fly again when England is in peril?
There is some truth in it because the site in Cowley, Oxford is the remains of Cowley Airfield where metal planes like Spitfires were repaired, unlike the Hurricane which was wood and could be repaired at base. The remaining planes which had been cannibalised for spares were bulldozed and pushed in a hole in the ground.
The only formation flying these days is done by the local starlings which can produce a good display. On occasions I have heard the ghostly rumble of perhaps a Merlin engine revving! No it turned out to be some bros with Harley Davidson’s in a garage near-by tuning their engines.

Regards,
