Very nice! The Benin B707 lives on, or certainly did as far as 2015 when I saw it. It had moved inland to a place called Wetteren, probably about 60km or so from Ostend, and was displayed, mainly complete minus vertical stabiliser amd some sections of wing, on top of a building there alongside a Belgian T-33!

Some real gems there. I saw the Benin 707 at Stansted back in 1988.

Interesting place indeed, I've only been to Ostend the once and that was on a Globemaster trip in the 90's. We had a very brief stop there in the small hours after coming off the overnight ferry, there was an IL-76 parked up on the ramp. Looking at your pix, there's an unusual, interesting monster chopper parked amongst the various Mils, is that a Mil 10?
Everyone has a photographic memory; some just don't have film.

Mi10K was there in 1995 along with the two Mi8s, did they just stay there or did they fly out at all?
