So that's what they're hiding! (possibly one for the aircraft fans)

Somebody took thier aircraft spotting hobby too far ...

Jerry did it first:

Must have been a lot of colour blind people in WW1 if you look at some of the schemes from that period as well.

Odd, when I first clicked on it the picture seemed to show something that lloked like a Mig 21, but then the picture changed quickly to one of dismembered wings and fusealges

Looks like Harriers and possibly a couple of jet provosts to me

Harriers?

Better picture that.
I see Harriers (with the engine lids off), a couple of Jaguars and 2 (red and white) Provost trainers.

I love that them trying to keep what's there private resulted in discussing them online

Looks like the place. One of the Harriers they have in stock crashed on landing in Afghanistan:

About a minute later a very attractive lady walked up to the gates and uttered those tell-tale words 'can I help you?'.

Yes, fix this.

Is it me being dumb, or did the pilot leave it quite a while before ejecting?

Punching out is not something you really want to do if you can avoid it, maybe he was going to ride it out until , suddenly the flames around the canopy changed his mind for him?

Quite understandable!

BTW I cycled past this place at lunchtime and spent so long stretching my neck to try and snout over the fence I could barely cycle in a straight line!

That must be Abbey oaks, sproughton! I know the guy. Bought a few aircraft off him. Yes he deals in military aircraft as well as civilian...as well as anything else he can buy and sell.
Nice bloke...kinda don't want to upset him though!

I've said from the start that the folk who came out to enquire as to the reason for my presence were perfectly charming. My violinist (who met the guys) said they were lovely.

 

[Standoff]

Yes they are. He'll probably show you around his hangars if you ask.
I wasn't being funny....he is a genuinely nice bloke! Dick Everett..

I can't cycle in a straight line when I'm not doing that.
