Eurodemobbed and the database have the German F-84F as DD+348

Can you confirm the Sea Harrier FA2s. Eurodemobbed have three listed but there were only two present in May 2017, but I wasn't able to identify them.

Nice log, but can you please give the definition of 'broken up', do you mean that all the aircraft have been scrapped ?

The aircraft are dismantled, not broken up.

Hi,

Looking forward to your reply.

Kind regards,

Laurent

With this in mean.... the aircraft are not in one piece. Fuselages are parked next to each other. Wings are stored all together. Sometimes the tail is missing and stored with other tails. Most of them are complete, but not in one piece.

OK, Thank you for the update !

The F-84F was indeed a typo... must be DD+348.
We saw three... the three mentioned above...

Hi Rob,

trying to identify aircraft for my photos, most were still well wrapped when I had a look around in May 2017. Yours is the first report I've seen since then.

The main line up was in this order, and I'm guessing they don't move very often, if at all!

J-35 35329
F-104G FX-52
Sea Harrier F/A2
An-2 34
F-84
MiG 23 (20+08)
Mirage III 235
MiG 21
F-84
Su 7 (22)
MiG 15UTI '301' (805)
TS-11 (1920)
Harrier T8 ZD991
Sea Harrier F/A2
F-86
F-86
G91 99+38
G4 (23649)
MiG 21 green nose cone
CM 170 427
T-6 yellow (41-32899)
JP T5 XW421
J-22 25(112)
Anson frame (AX246)

Can you fill in the gaps, and confirm which is which regarding the F-84s, F-86s, MiG 21s and Sea Harrier F/A2s?

Aerial Visuals list another MiG 21 1812, which in photos has a green nose cone, while 1703 has a red one!
Eurodemobbed list a third Sea Harrier F/A2 ZD608 which I didn't see, and a MiG 21UM cockpit 5709 (was listed as a MiG 17!) There were three other cockpit sections with the A-7, one of which looks lke a MiG 21UM (it was wrapped up).
