    You don’t have the answer? I’ve looked at a couple of pictures of the glasshouse at Kew and unless the others are very similar indeed I’m pretty sure it’s there.

    That's a great image, Kiwi.
    I remember posting it on a Bomber Command thread some years back.
    To me, there is no more beautiful flying aircraft then the spit.

    Here's one that had crash landed in Germany, repair & flown by the Luftwaffe.

    Trust it’s ok to post this<cheers>

    Ben Evans store in Swansea - known as the Harrods of Wales.

    The building was destroyed by the Luftwaffe during the ‘Swansea Blitz’ - 3 consecutive nights of bombing 19-21 February 1941.

    The business relocated to a different building to (try and) continue trading, but it was never the same again: the business closed in the late 1950s.

    The real tragedy of the February 1941 bombardment was the human cost - 230 people killed, 409 injured, and over 7,000 made homeless.
