So this location was our last planned one of the day it was a permission visit and i must say i kind of liked it because i didnt have to be on edge all the time these few planes are at a back on a farm and looked like they have been here for years i didnt get any info/ history on them as it was the qife of the man that ownered them gave us permission to take photographys but me and a pal spent a good 2 hours here. Its just mad to think these planes were once in the air now they are just decaying away

Wow! Theres a jet provost for certain, in the second last pic. The twin tail is possibly a De Havilland Venom. The first one is a Hawker Hunter I think. Takes me back a few years. I went thru tech training in the raf pulling provosts and hunters to bits.
Not sure from the angle but is the last one a gloster meteor?

Nice post and nice photographs. Looks like Dam_01 previous training has paid off. I think that there is a Venom there, the last time I saw an operational one was in RAF Gutersloh in Germany back in the mid sixties. The last one does look like a Gloster Meteor.

As I said before mate cracking find and I'm well jealous of this explore!
 
Just to confirm that all the planes are British and have British markings.The colours are somewhat non-standard though! They are a Hawker Hunter F? which was a single seat fighter sold around the world, a two seat De Haviland Venom which is probably the training version, a single seat Hawker Sea Hawk which was a carrier borne fighter, a two seat Hunting Percival (BAC) Jet Provost and a single seat Gloster Meteor wich may be an F8. All developed in the 50s
