The location concerned has been opened to the public for aviation and military vehicles events every year for many years. So I dont think it is likely that any internet exposure makes it a target.

There have been thefts of large items quite recently. One wonders if spreading clips like this will only encourage more.

Especially as a few seconds googling with a couple of bits of info brings up the exact location on google maps and the satellite images show whats on the ground.

These pictures were taken some time ago. Much of what is depicted is no longer there. There have been thefts of large items quite recently. One wonders if spreading clips like this will only encourage more.

At 0.52 in left hand side of frame behind what I think is an anti aircraft gun is a modern light aircraft with the canopy open but I can’t identify the type.

The AN2 was for a short while stored at Sleap,the engine I believe is sound but someone tried to remove the prop blades with a Stihl saw/disc cutter,the inside is/was substantially complete,I have no idea wher it is now,

At 1.21 that looks like Yoder power hammer in front of the red car…The boat at 1.42 has MTB lines…There’s a Frost English Wheel in the shed behind the red car at 1.57..

I’d like to have a poke about that place with cash in hand…
