Tucked in between shipping containers and general detritus stands the unmistakable silhouette of Saab 35 Draken A-011, formerly of the Royal Danish Air Force.

A slightly better angle of the beleaguered and sadly wingless Draken. The aircraft is kept on private property so this is as close as one can get, but the public footpath alongside the yard provides enough of a vantage point that the aircraft is clearly visible.

A very overcrowded - and unsurprisingly too, given that trains are only two-hourly on a Sunday - 150224 leads 156422 into Hag Fold. It seems the 156 was having some mechanical difficulties - on the quick trip back into Manchester, the engine seemed to cut out on multiple occasions.

#UnleashTheDraken - it isn't every day you get to find a Danish fighter jet with Swedish origins in a storage yard! Viewed from a public footpath in Atherton is Saab 35 Draken A-011, along with the four Northern Sprinters which got me there and back.

Our Gazelle helicopter being moved around in Hangar 1 by our volunteers - a finely balanced exercise!

AR-107 was deactivated by the RDAF when it was delivered in 1994, this was part of the Acquisition Agreement.
#UnleashTheDraken is just a tag we've developed!
It still has a complete cockpit fit though!!

After I posted this, this morning it occurred to me that I hadn't seen @newarkairmuseum.bsky.social post #UnleashTheDraken lately

I've just checked back through their posts and apparently the last time was only 4 days ago

Must pay closer attention in future!
