STANSTED FIRE DUMP LATE 70'S
Hello
im wondering if anyone has a list of registrations of the many aircraft scattered around the dump?,i made several visits there in the 70's as a spotty youth and came away with a few "souveniers",but never took note of all the airframes,i recall a dutch dc7,a b720,viscount,a stratocruiser and many more,thanks......... .
