Went there early 70's for a CCF field day. More airframes than I think the RAF had in service at the time, including some some very rare and museum worthy ones. Two Bristol Type 188's (one now at Cosford) several TSR2 airframes and parts there of. I could weep.
Vast quantities of Supermarine Scimitars for certain, Vulcan B1's, Vampires or possibly venoms IIRC, long time ago
all stacked on their sides to save space. Their purpose was to test the effectiveness of anti aircraft weapon warheads exploding in close proximity and asses the likely survivability of the aircraft to continue flying. They also tested air dropped ordnance there (not dropped just detonated) and I stood in the crater made by a 1000lb bomb...... it was big
. We were also taken to RAF White City and I stood next to a RR Avon as it was run up to 105%, something I would not do now, knowing how many have had their turbines let go over the years
