The Boneyard, Arizona

I remember the day I took the tour around AMARC (I was on detachment at DM - the locals thought we'd brought our jets for storage!) there were 4382 aircraft on the books. Not sure why I remember the number but our brains are a strange thing.
It did get me thinking though. If the UK had a field big and dry enough for all of our old aircraft from let's say 1960 onwards (similar vintage to the US facility) how many would there be? I can honesty say I have absolutely no idea but I'd love it if someone in the know could make an educated guess.
