What a sad sight for these old "war horses"

HARRIER

JAGUAR

SHACKLETON

HUNTER

LIGHTNING

BUCANEER

If I win the lottery this weekend I will buy all these and put them in my garden and install a 32" TFT and new pc in all the cockpits and turn them all into static flight simulators, and you will all be invited to come and use them free of charge, so long as you bring a crate of beer!! 😀 🍻

You'd think they'd spend the money to keep them in an old hangar to keep them out of the rain...
Good pics though - did you take them? I take it they're all British made...
The first one is a Harrier, the second one is a very run down Broomstick... - the rest of them will require some more research... unless of course you're willing to enlighten us Read

my apologies Tailhook, ive labelled them now.

I found these pictures on a website earlier today, I believe they were taken at the Heathrow air museum, I would've been in tears if I had been there seeing them in that condition Crying or Very sad

With due respect my friend, I have it on good authority that you are a member of the Onassis dynasty.

I'm in a slightly different 'class'. First, you want me to buy a cam-corder and shoot my TV 😳 -- what a waste of money that would be - and now you want me to buy yet another pair of glasses 😳 (I've already got 4 pairs).
What next Juggle
