Hi,
A question about some preserved aircraft at RAF Coningsby:

Preserved with 11 sq is Lightning XR753 (l/n jan'09), is it visible from outide the base, and from where?

A new Lightning XS897 was noted preserved at Coningsby in june 2009, where exactely?

At the main gate sould be Phantom XT891 and a Tornado F.3, can those been photographed from outside? And where is the main gate?

TIA,
Erik Kamphuis

Another question: a few miles north off RAF Coningsby is Tattershall Thorpe Camp visitors centre.
A picture on http://www.demobbed.uk.org" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false; shows Lightning F1A XM192/K preserved outside also l/n april'09 (and Skeeter XL735 should also be there).
Can this Lightning been photographed from the outside if the centre is closed?

TIA,
Erik
