Show on mapThe Hawker Demon was flown by 608 Squadron at Thornaby between 1937 and 1939. This propeller was rescued from a field in 1957 and passed via the Air Training Corps to the local council to be mounted in the library since 1969. It has recently been restored and remounted.
I noticed this the other day when visiting the fantastic Thornaby library, it’s so great to see Thornaby’s proud history on show.
