Boscombe Down

[JVaughan]

Driving past the perimeter road yesterday, I spotted some "old" planes just sitting on the hardstands.
a quick google earth at the place and I found these..

Looks like a Hunter .. is that an F4 ? Plus a number of tanks and a set of wings to the right of the picture bearing a set of what look like white stars

The gate gaurdian is a Lightening.. that is visible from the main gate as you pass

Yes, it's a Hunter, Phantom and Jet Provost, with what looks like another set of Hunter wings from the ETPS.

It is a collection of non airworthy aircraft, a bit like a museum of sorts, but not open to the public.

Yes, I would agree that the boat does not look airworthy!

This should help .... the (somewhat inaccessible!) Boscombe Down museum .....
