It looks like a pair of Lightenings, but I'm no expert.

No idea on the middle one... ???

Agreed - two English Electric Lightnings and a SAAB Draken.

Go back in time to 2006 on Google Earth and there used to be a StarFighter there too.

I dont think streetview gives enough magnification to reach the far end of the field they are parked in along that hedge

The house is called Lightning Lodge

Nice

They are gone. One Lightning is now at RAF Waddington, the other is near Coningsby, the Starfighter is at Bruntingthorpe. The Draken... near Wigan I think.

Interestingly, or perhaps not, Mark Hales the motoring journalist/classic racer appears to live on that road.

That must be near to Mark Hales the race drivers place. I'm sure the article linked to off of here earlier today about the Piper vs Hales incident on the 917 engine damage said that Hales lived in Conisholme, Lincoln.

Yup just checked Mr Hales, 62, of Fen Lane, Conisholme, Lincolnshire
I know Hales has a PPL as he had an aircraft for sale on AFORS a while ago.
