I wouldn't exactly call most of them WW2 !! There is what appears to be a B25, fair enough, but it's not a fighter.
LOL yes. Also, the F-86 Sabre was Korean War not WW2. But the Telegraph seldom bother doing any research these days.

Better to think of it as "abandoned old planes". biggrin


Edit: Although if one wanted to be picky, one could read the headline "World War II fighter aircraft rot in abandoned plane graveyard" as meaning "WW2 fighter aircraft are amongst the aircraft that rot in an abandoned plane graveyard" smile

Oh not this again. Next, spomeone will be arguing that "Speed Matters" is something about speed being important, rather than matters pertaining to speed. It's a downward spiral...

We strolled around yesterday without being bothered by anyone. Saw a few guys doing same as us and they said they got caught on Saturday, so maybe security dont work Sundays.....

Its been trashed but it was worth it to sit at the top of Knightmare.

The Latvian Consulate here it is a few months ago http://www.28dayslater.co.uk/forums/mansions-manor...

Camelot is in Preston so by default cannot be described as pristine wink
