Pristene one at Dassault :)

Zwijnaarde's resp said to be ex 9903 CzechAF (ex Zoeterwoude and Rotterdam) + ex 5824 PolishAF. Guess M-1208 is a fun.

Regarding the '707' or what's left of it: Saw thatone a couple of years ago in better condition as it was still on ground and with a lot more chimneys...... Wonder and doubt safety of it's position rightnow. However (imho and considering the parts missing) I think the dump-parts belong to this Boeing.

Someone help out of the subtype, as regarding the part below the aft fuselage doens't look regular as for what is mentioned on most fora as being a B707-300/-320? Thanks in advance
