What have you seen in an unusual place??
There is the Interflug Il-62 which is preserved in a field on a hill-top next to a glider strip at Stolln-Rhinow which is still there [I saw it there in the 1990s]

You might be thinking that's not very unusual, lots of aircraft get preserved away from airports. What is unusual about this one, is that they landed it on the grass glider strip on top on the hill to get it there back in 1989

Can you get a Big Max there?
These two are both just south of the old RAF Riccall in East Yorkshire, off the A163. The airframe (no idea what it is) at the top is visible from the road, the fuselage at the bottom isn't.

One at the top of the pic looks like a Prescott Pusher, fuselage is perhaps a 125?
Edit: The Pusher is OE-KDW and the 125 is a 700, VP-CFI - 257054....

There's a Vampire next to a polo field between Henley-on-Thames and Lower Shiplake. I spotted it first when going past in a boat on the River Thames, but the vegetation has grown and now hides it. It appears to have Swiss markings - I believe a Swiss billionaire is a local landowner.
