I'll add the photographs I took on my yard visit that year soon - also a list when I cobble it together. Last page update 26 August 2010
Hope these images will help fellow explorers - see also Dave Anderson's http://www.dtvmovements.co.uk/Info/AMARC/DMI.htm
Note: This yard is in a constant state of flux with airframes coming and going. However some are long time "residents". Let's go for a walkabout.
