Who owns this lot then

[Spitfire]

Found these on Google Maps at Long Marston .......

Sad bunch

Who the heck owns that lot .... Looks like a Whirlwind - a Provost - a Vampire - a Canberra - and is that 3 Hunters??
That also looks like a Shackleton shape - but it only has 2 engines??

Aha I can see why now .... its in a bit of a state
Well past any form of saving




It seems it used to be a museum - but they're all just rotting now .....

How old is that image on Google Maps ... have any been saved to other museums ...

Any one know .... Cluny looks nearest on the forum map

[Mayfly]

Oooo subtlety is your strong point then !!!

Sad looking bunch aren't they

[Xplumberlives]

I would have thought Sooty was closest!

[Cluny]

A couple have gone [East Midlands Aeropark has got 1 of the Hunters and the Vampire I belive] but the rest are still there rotting away and look destined to be chopped up

I saw on abother forum Bruntingthorpe [or someone from there] has recovered from Global Aviation a Gnat ... Global is the company that looked after the JPs DT used to fly but I never remember seeing a Gnat!!

Is that a Russian technique?

The urban explorers like to go tere a lot
Don't have a problem with them, except when they damage things, if it's just looking and taking pics then I'm actually quite interested in the places they go, but I seem to remember it being reporeted on the Key publishing forum (I think) that they forced open the Shackletons door or something, it was a good few years ago now so could have been someting else.

I think this is the right place, Stratford Aircraft Collection, Long Marston. Found some info and older pictures on the following website:

Poor things, there's a fair few nice aircraft rotting away at Cranfield that I would like to rescue, especially the Lansen.

It just seems so sad to see them just falling apart and being vandalised

Does anyone know who actually owns them ??

[Xplumberlives]

can you fit it in your back garden?

[Olicat]

no, Bournemouth aviation museum might like it

think the Jet Aviation Preservation Group owns it

[Thumper]

think the Jet Aviation Preservation Group owns it

Now that's a JOKE of a name! Jet Aviation Demolition Group would be more apt looking at those photo's!

[Olicat]
