ng.com... Movie prop? Could be. Wing root says Hawker, but the nose says Mig or Sukhoi (latter more likely). |

I think you've nailed it. It's a Hunter with the nose cone and spent rounds bulges (Sabrinas) removed. The gun ports and nose wheel are also identical to a Hunter. -- Cheers Dave Kearton |

TIA ~~ Dingo Attachment decoded: Hunter MiG.jpg ------=_NextPart_000_00C9_01C8F097.7CDA7A40-- According to the Google Earth Community postings its a Hawker Hunter on the airfield at North Luffenham UK Painted and dressed to appear as a Mig, looking at Google Earth coverage, it looks like the main runway has been cratered and the whole field looks like its setup for assault training there are several aircraft and positions. looks like a Harrier and a F-4 as well. Parking lot near the end of one runway appears to have several old armour vehicles for placement out on the field 52°37'55.30"N 0°36'16.44"W |

RAF North Luffenham also called "St. Georges Barrack" so it makes for a good goole search.. http://www.28dayslater.co.uk/forums/...ad.php?t=27636 |
