Recently discovered forming part of a garden fence in Lee-on-Solent were the propeller blades, possibly taken from World War One Short 184 seaplanes at HMS Daedalus. The garden's location is being kept secret because its lady owner is hacked off with enthusiasts hacking bits off her fence.

RAF St Athan Historic Aircraft Collection curator Wg Cdr Paul Brindley, who retired from the RAF on December 16, 1988, doing what St Athan has been famous for under his direction: running-up a vintage aero-engine for the benefit of visitors, in this case the Mitsubishi Kinsei 62 of the museum's Kawasaki Ki-100. Brindley has been in charge of the collection since September 1983, and as well as bringing many rare engines back to life has overseen the total restoration of several aircraft including Fairey Battle 5343, which is nearing completion. Sadly, the collection is now being dispersed as an MoD economy measure.
