Was idly looking on Google Earth today and noticed the Fire Service College at Moreton-in-Marsh, on the old airfield, have what appears to be an A-10 standing on one of the old runways. Anyone know anything about it? Quite surprised me, didn't expect to see that, there!

If you men the rusty looking one at the northern end then to me it looks like a mock-up. Not aware of one being there.

Most certainly a mock up.

They do however have a Hunter & JP present.

I notice there's a German Transall on Foxtrot at Coningsby, as well as a few E3D on the ASP from 2016

 Could be worse....some airfields in Europe have been pixelated out
All airfields/airports in Greece are pixelated along with a good few in France.

Belgium as well If you look @ Kliene-Brogel for example
