In my days of working on MOD bases, quite a few had a plane on a pole or plinth at the entrance and as Dave said, our John does like his planes. One that comes to mind was Stanmore , North London sure that had on eat the entrance. |

My understanding is they are old or disused planes, tanks, jeeps, whatever, situated at the gates of military bases. Scampton near Lincoln used to, maybe still does, have a Harrier. |
