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.

Always guaranteed some rare and exotic gems there

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?

Mil 10K I think

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