LeBourget stored aircraft

[SpringHeeledJack]

I was passing Le Bourget the other day, so decided to pop into the Musee de L'Air and have a quick look around (but not doing it justice time wise) and definitely didn't have time to get to the far side of the airfield to see all the various stored vintage aircraft of various ages and provenance. Would any of you chaps have an idea what was there please ? I only had the Mk1 eyeball with me and apart from an Air France 707, Fedex 727 and perhaps a DC6, the rest was a mystery, if not a Mystere Merci.

far side

Is not the "far side", on the other side of the runway, only open on special occasions.
Lots of interesting a/c there.

Yes, the far side seems to be an overflow of sorts, and yes they seem to contain an interesting selection of airframes. Your comment made me think of Gary Larson and his 'Far Side' cartoons that used to make me guffaw back in the old days before the internet
