A couple of old wrecks?

[billydog]

This ones been bugging me for some time, and thought someone out there in FC land may know the answer.
This picture is taken from the front cover of Suede's 1997 album "Sci-Fi Lullabies".
Shows a decaying Lightning and in the background, a Hunter.
Anyone know if this is a genuine location, and if so, whereabouts it is?

Otterburn Range, Northumberland I reckon.

The Lightning is XP702, look about three-quarters down this link for a similar photo and is indeed Otterburn :- http://www.thunder-and-lightnings.co.uk ... istory.php" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;

That would explain the bullet holes all over the Lightning!
Many thanks for your help Mike.

Definately Ottoburn, I left the best part of me up there, you can just see it behind the Hunter

That's a Hunter Paddy, I've had a rummage and it should be an FGA 9, which was a composite of XG264 and the rear fuselage of XF445.
I think the Lightnings and Hunter/s have long gone though.
