Planes in strange places

[Stevemr]

Just come back from Greece. This was in a pretty remote mountain village. Pretty impressive how they must have got it there!!

[Stevemr]

Then there was this, spotted while driving. Stopped to take some pics. Seemed closed but a bit of googling found some pics of how it looked inside.

Loved that Lightning in the scrap yard down the A1 that got graffiti all over it….

It's a Starfigher. It probably just fell out of the sky.

Nothing useful to add, but for some reason I'm vaguely recalling an ex military aircraft which was parked outside the retail park on Somerford Road in Christchurch. Would have been the 80's, maybe early 90's. For the life of me I can't remember what it was though.

There's that building on the North Circular Road in London with a Hunter in a glass section at the front.

On a similar vein there used to be a Meteor outside the Fiat dealership in St Leonards.

There's a Starfighter on top of a commercial building not too far from me in Zuffenhausen..

That looks familar. I've sure that one of the two bit airlines that served the Isle of Man used that whilst I lived there.

Hawker HS125 cockpit in Port Talbot garden:



The plane was once owned, or at least used by Richard Burton and Elizabeth Taylor, as well as Saudi billionaire Mohammed Bin Awad Bin Laden, external - the father of Osama Bin Laden.
