fortunately for all involved its horizontal, a brief googling seems to indicate that it is a ex Belgian machine now painted as RNAF D8030 and is outside a junkyard but easily visible from the motorway

2 B52s out of Fairford early this morning. They've been to Sweden and now approaching the Norfolk coast.

You prob meant to park this in the other thread Dixi, but then again... Four currently at Fairford I believe, be nice if they put in the odd appearance over London like one of the recent deployments did... Got lovely views of two of them, one right over the top!

This was mentioned on here many years ago, and I made a trip to go find it. At the time it was displayed in an open field adjacent to a polo pitch. I took a few pics of it ...


When I check the meta-data, the pic was taken in June 2010 - was that really 14 years ago!

Double alliteration...might cause a ripple out into space, safer to keep it shorter ;-)

There's a Convair at Reynards Garden Centre near Carluke
