Lost: one derelict fighter jet

For a couple of years I regularly drove up and down the A1(M) - visiting friends, going to weddings. Today I made that journey for the first time in a year, so I wanted to finally photograph something I'd seen on all those journeys but never captured on film.

I couldn't find it.

It was a fighter aircraft. But not one carefully presented at the entrance to an RAF site. This one was abandoned in a field, rusting and covered in anti-war graffiti.

I could never remember precisely where it was though I have some clues. It was on the east side of the road, just north of a roundabout, somewhere between the A52 (Grantham) and A57 (Clumber Park) turns.

I'm beginning to doubt those memories now. So if you know what I'm talking about and can help me track it down please let me know!
