That's just the shallow top half it connects via a covered stream to the deep end that at the other end of the garden. By deep I mean 5' 10".

Well a flying visit to former RAF Church Fenton this morning, found this part of an aircraft which has left me puzzled trying to find out what it was.

Aileron perhaps not just a bit of wing with landing gear for one side or was it a rhetorical question?

It is centre section of wing, has both undercarriage, couldn’t be sure but looks like undercarriage is either fixed or folds forward. The top of the wing I could see marks where a cowl used to be, maybe for undercarriage to fold forwards into. Cowls would of been too close to fuselage to be engine cowls.

A friend of mine has just solved the puzzle, it’s an Avro Anson. The cowls are for the engines but reach forward in front quite a way so the props do clear the fuselage and the undercarriage does fold forward into the cowls below the engines.

After going down to see my Mum yesterday, for Mothers day (early), today was spent removing the front bumper from the Jeep.

I am fitting the smaller light bar and the jump lead/caravan hookup, Anderson connector, and while I have it all apart, I will waxoil the cross member.

Thy number plate will cover it over, and will hinge up when I need access.

While I was taking it apart, a came across this stuck inside one of the recesses, does this mean I am down some horsepower?
