Look just to the right of the placemark, it looks like an aircraft graveyard, what is the plane next to the placemark?

To the South of that mark is another one next to another plane. Have a look at the shadow. As this is where the wings of the Airbuses are made, could this be a Super Guppy?

Here: http://bbs.keyhole.com/ubb/showthreaded.php/Number/132666 it's identified as a Beluga. See also http://www.flug-revue.rotor.com/FRheft/FRH9803/FR9803d.htm

What plan are you looking at? What I saw was a swept back fighter/bomber that looks a lot like a F101, Voodoo. I did not see one that looked like the Beluga.

Hawarden airfield has a collection of Migs (23s & 27s I think)

No Beluga, because this one is only 35m long and the Beluga is 54m!

This can be a A319 or A320.

I bow to your better judgement.
This is certainly one (which I do not claim to be my find...)

The Hawarden Air Services has 2 MIG-23, 2 SU-17, 2 MIG-27 and many AN-2.

Looks like more a MIG-23 than a Corsair.

I would say 10 points for the mig.

At their Navy.

I don't know about MIG-23 on France. Yet at an aircraft graveyard.
If they'll buy some plane of Russia on black market, why they don't buy some other model more sofisticated, like MIG-29? :confused:
MIG-23 (Or MIG-27), I think, is a low sophisticated plane (Not only now. The wing swept is controlled by the pilot, not electronically... :whoa: ).

Reposting since first time didn't take. Highly swept wings spell Russian variable-geometry fighter of the '70s: MiG-23 or 27, Su-17 or 20. This plane appears to have underwing drop fuel tanks, more typical of the Su-17 or 20. (MiG-27 could carry them, but only with wings in fully extended, subsonic position.) Since someone in this thread noted that Hawarden actually has two Su-17s, my bet is that's exactly what this is.
