Ahh, would that you could get away with having toy box’s like that now! As an RAF brat in Aden in 1960-61 I was forever being dragged out of the scrap yard on the edge of RAF Khormaksar camp. In there were complete Vampires, Venoms, Meteors, Vallettas and the like, all piled on top of each other. Rumour had it that there were also a couple of Brigands in there also.
I can just about remember another RAF scrap yard on a satallite airfield (Gt. Massingham) near RAF West Raynham in Norfolk. The aircraft there were also piled one on top of the other!

Looks like if he had a nice bit of grass to land on everything would have been o.k. but that ground looks really rough.

Love that early cockpit section TerryP.

here are some more of XE 982, sorry if I’ve doubled up!

I believe the aircraft is no more, parts being sold

Thanks nibb100, a very logical answer..yes, the reflection would be incredible.

Jeff

Magnificent!

Hi Jeff, I didn’t think of asking around, it was a get up in the morning decision to go anyway really, would have been great to have met you there though.
I saw the old vehicles display and was going to go back later and get some pics – guess what I forgot to go back!:o

No problem mate, my jeep was the U.S. Navy marked one at the end next to a M.A.S.H. marked M.38

I’m sure we’ll meet up some time in the future..

Jeff

Can’t wait to see the colour scheme you have in mind
