More sadly, during the mid/late 70's I was the mechanical engineer/engine builder in a very competitive 'modsports' (modified sports cars) racing team. The car LOOKED like a MG Midget but there the similarities ended. Internally it was entirely different. Alan and brother Andy who owned and managed the team both lived at Badbury, about 2 miles away from Wroughton. We replaced all/most of the interior steel panels (except the load bearing/torsional strength and struts obviously) with large sheels of old aluminium taken from the scrapped aircraft. Most was camouflaged on one side including some with the RAF roundel markings and in the white or painted with a light green wishy-washy coloired paint on the inside. Large wing panels were the best. Their dad worked there and obviously 'acquired' loads of 'stuff' - as you do! Various thicknesses made life much easier.
