These were in the maintainace hangar behind the German A319 static. There was also a Me-109 (or Hispania whatever) in there too. The hangar was open on the public open day (Saturday), but I see from other reports that it wasn't open on the spotters day.

There were also a number of other active aircraft in closed HAS shelters at the eastern end - mostly Typhoons. It was fairly obvious which ones contained aircraft (on Saturday at least) since they had guards patrolling outside the doors and constant tannoy announcements that access "to ze shelters ist stricktly verboten".

We were told on the Friday by a Luftwaffe pilot that this was 31+01 but access to confirm the serial was not allowed.
