Decades later, a vigilant member of the public spotted the memorial in a stonemason’s yard in Wiltshire. The mason refused to relinquish it, but eventually the plane was put up for auction and the family bought it back for £8,000. The restored memorial was re-sited in 2010 near its original location in what is now High Elms Country Park.
