Had a brief stop here for the first time in over a year. I saw in the current Air Britain that hangars 1-3 were being used for Ukraine aid warehouse and the aircraft had been moved out. Was hoping to see if any elusive residents / hangar queens were out in the open ... sadly disappointed.
In fact the whole place was very quiet, cafe closed, only half a dozen movement during my stop, many previous residents not seen. There was also a lot more fences and areas with "No Public Access" signs which seemed to limit where you could go to get different angles for reading off items.
Which brings me to my couple of requests... 1) There is a white fuselage behind hangars 1-3. Didn't see any marking on it but the track is now fenced off and so I was looking through the trees from the road. 2) There was a white & blue twin parked in front of hangar 1 but nose on. 3) Two aircraft in front of GAMA hangar hidden behind G-CCYY; one had black cover on, the other a green nose. Could see enough to id type.
Any help filling those gaps much appreciated.

Many Thanks Trev, much appreciated.
Anyone know the story of the Premier and how long it has been there? Planebase and many online sources still list it as "Active". It is still in Stephen Rudge's "Corporate Jet & Turbo World Register" he issued yesterday.
