was a few years ago now Richard and was taken over the fence from my mates yard as the yard it was in was closed. Does the "S" on the nose mean anything

That's not the nose, it's where the tail boom is - the wreck is "upside down - unusual place to put the ident though. The nose (front and centre) was the norm from memory.

You're right SP, however if you zoom in on the other end of the wreck photo you'll see the 'S' marked there also which is the nose.
