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 |

TIA ~~ Dingo Attachment decoded: Hunter MiG.jpg ------=_NextPart_000_00C9_01C8F097.7CDA7A40-- Some good pictures here, but he also calls it a mig.. misinformed...But atleast he knows not to mess with right things... 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 |
