I'll guess we are talking about the wide body jet which appears to be a DC-10. But where is the center engine intake? It looks like it may have been removed.......
Sorry all, I was afraid this would not work with different browsers, tablets etc. On mine it just focuses on the prop aircraft. What looks a bit like a DC-10 is actually a custom-built ARFF trainer, made out of heavy gauge steel so all the flames etc don't spoil it - it gets repainted about once a year. There are quite a few at UK airports now, the old days of using old fuselages are gone. And I didn't notice the GA aircraft. So that leaves ...
