Tanks at Humberside ?

Visited Humberside today ! Many photos of helicopters and aircraft posted elsewhere, We saw these tanks in a rack outside of a workshop type building ?
What are they ? is this the correct place to ask this question ? Are they tip tanks from aircraft ??

I KNOW! They ARE JP tip tanks.

Its Global Aviation. They service Jet Provosts in that hangar…. and the owner has an amazing private collection of cars and aviation related articles… not necessarily in that hangar (before you think of breaking in).

They look like under wing tanks from Phantoms.

When I saw the thread title I thought for a minute there’d been a military coup. 😀
