Ok, so we have had scrapyards, and even the new airfields picture thread, but how about a thread just on pictures/info of aircraft being used by the fireman??
Sadly these days, (in the UK anyway) most airfields have gone a bit eco friendly, and now have ugly tin cans as fire trainers. True they last longer, but its not the same as finding a half burnt old aircraft in the corner of an airfield.
Cannot add anything myself (Not yet) so any takers….

Nice shots guys. It is a shame that some of these airframes are not used for spares first.

Morning all,
Some nice pics there Les, the Manston Canberra looks a little healthier in my shot though, don’t have W&R to hand but think its still clinging to this mortal coil, I think the B(I).8 is just about still there…

Peter and all,
Sadsack is correct, have no scanner at the moment…. Hopefully I can get one soon, then can post pics of the Marham Dump in 1994, Predannack in the same year as well as the Manston images.

The Wessex is crying out to be saved.

I have pictures from the CTE at RAF Manston in 1992 or 1993, although I cannot post them they are of the last Vulcan XL386, plus the following :
Canberra TT.18, Lightning F.3, three Phantoms, JP, Devon two VC 10 fuselages stuck together and a Victor.
There was also a big pile of burnt out scrap which consisted of a Viscount, Development batch Lightning and Argosy, as for the rest errr pass.
