Its part of history!
Think of the old folk from the war, some of them worked on these machines. Also it gives people an insight into how an engine was then and how they are now. smile

Nice report Kyle thumbsup

At the very least i have to say i find it interesting.
I would never have guessed in a million years there was
the remains of a spitfire under that soil.

I bet around the Wirral there are hundreds of memento's
similar, some interesting and some not so interesting.

Each to there own..

Under Thurstaston, by the visitors centre, there are old bunkers buried, which make the nice Tellytubby-esque mounds that one see's.

And if you walk over them, in some places you can see the grass wearing away and the concret rooves are gradually starting to be revealed once again.

Possibly, but ye would need to do a considerable amount of covert digging, and they will probably have been concreted up prior to being grassed over, for obvious reasons.

The official answer is no, and I dont think there is any access point even for the council/authorities to enter, they are basically abandoned and forgotten about.
