Hawarden treasure trove

[Yozzer]

Had cause to get a good look at Hawarden in recent days and noticed the following within the airfield:

2 x AN 2 biplanes
1 x silver Sukhoi SU17 Fitter
1 x Venom (Pale blue all over)

Anyone know who, what, when becomes of these aircraft?

NB Hardly on the flight lined fuelled up and ready to rock I might add!

Wasn't the Venom the one that made a forced landing during a display weekend.
Believed the operators stripped it of the useful and useable bits and then "donated" it to the fire dept.
It was one of the VENI, VIDI VICI trio I seem to recall.

Rumour has it that the Russian aircraft (there used to be some Mil 'copters too) were imported via the docks but for some reason the paper work did'nt turn up.

They've been out in the open for a few seasons so should be quite degraded by now

GVIDI crashed on take-off at a Hawarden 'Open Day' on 7th July 1996, following a wing drop soon after rotation. Fortunately the pilot was not seriously injured.

'Twas a bad month for DH oldies, only two weeks later we tragically lost the Mossie and crew at Barton.

That would have been difficult from an IF hold to ILS & overshoot but I am prepared to be enlightened, and I am sure that you are feeding the curiosity of many more:

Aside from "WHAT IS INSIDE THE HANGAR" the question has to be, What is becoming of the contents of the hangar?
