Roadside airplanes

A fuselage from a Thai Airways plane (make unknown) can be seen alongside Route 12 in the northern province of Petchabun between Lomsak and Phitsanulok. It appears to be a restaurant which is now closed.

C47 now repainted and up on blocks at the side of Highway 36 northbound between Pattaya and Rayong opposite the Hardware house store

Transall C160 in somebody garden just near to Nong Nooch Bangsaray.

Rather strange, as far as I am aware Thailand did not operate this type only France; Indonesia; West Germany; South Africa and Turkey.

Unable to get any closer to it but looks like it is being beautifully restored as a garden ornament

 Interesting..Fair bet it came from Nam. After the French caused the Vietnam War and lost, they left a few behind that were being serviced and ran away.

Koh Kred is sort of 3-angular,

one east-west stretch

one north-south stretch

one ...... stretch

 

the plane is on the east-west stretch towards the western end, not far from the water

The 747 Aluminium goes for 35 to 50 K $ depending on which country its in. The Engines are the Variable decider sold separately as a rule.Funny thing is why they store so many, yet Cars get sorted for Ali and re cycled  everyday.

""nknown aircraft type on the side of Mittahparp between Chockchai Farms and Saraburi."

 

If its the one I'm thinking of its an ex RTAF Fairchild C-123

Sadly, the right wing of that one is now broken and sagging down, hopefully someone will fix it up.  The restaurant behind it used to be quite good, but I haven't stopped there for a while.

 

Just up the road from this, on the left hand side heading away from Saraburi, near Muak Lek, there's what looks like a junkyard with a few aircraft, including a small helicopter and these two taken from Google Earth.  There's also a bunch of ex military vehicles.  I've often thought of stopping there, but there's no sign saying what the place is for, and I'm usually speeding past having just come up the hill.  Maybe next time.  I'd love to turn my front yard into something similar.

This is not an old aircraft. Those 6 bladed high efficient props are relatively new.

Maybe they are decorative add-ons.

The rest of the plane looks like a genuine Transall C-160.

Can I suggest that it is not a Transal C-160 but a CASA CN-235. Its those 6 blades that made me think it might not be a C-160 although there may have been a prop upgrade but I could ot find any ref to one.

[Rimmer]

Not sure what this is all about but someone who knows absolutely nothing about original aircraft color schemes has been let loose with cans of paint and brushes on these old aircraft.

 

They are located on the on the northbound carriageway of the 331 Highway about three clicks south of the Silver Lakes turnoff.

 

   

[Rimmer]

There is also what could be a 737 with a Star Alliance logo on the side. The demon painter is just getting started on that one so don't hold your breath for an original paint scheme

 

Not a derelict aircraft but among all the other military stuff on the site tucked away at the back is this incredible old Chinese two handed fire pump.

[Rimmer]

Saw this UH1A a couple of days back at the same 'air park' place just off the 331 highway northbound before the turn off to Silver Lakes.

Looks to be original ex US army and colors, hope they don't don't paint it some garish color scheme like they have with the other aircraft there.

Some what look like bullet holes in the fuselage and canopy but doubt they are real as they don't come out the other side, also some holes on the tail fins are on the top of the fins. The logo on the front is first air cav
