Brilliant Grant, shame about the poor old AN-2 floaty mcfloatplane though, it sure needs someone to love it.

Hi Steve, there's a number of them on the far side of the airfield, as well as a large number of other crates sitting about in various states of disrepair. I was urged to take a look in the aircraft dump and on my first visit I got in there, the fence was open, but on the second visit, it had been closed, so lucky I went the first time. I did return to the hotel with half a field in each boot though.

 

 

 

Can ya tell wat it is yet?

Something that started as a Nanchang?

Movie stars, masquerading as F-84s?

The question was rhetorical, but yeah, pretty much; I've read it was meant to be an F-84 for a movie. It makes more sense when viewed from the front.
