I was told just after the Cold War that Boscombe Down was home to a couple of non-flyable MiGs and the odd Sukhoi. I suspect it was was probably true, since the information was relayed to me by a senior ETPS test pilot.
During the 1980s the Germans obtained two Egyptian Air Force Su-20 Fitter Cs. They also obtained a lot of East German Su-22s after the Berlin Wall came down.
I believe that at least one of the Su-20 Fitter Cs was borrowed from the Luftwaffe test establishment by the boys at Boscombe.
