Cold war relic at Elworth

The aircraft fuselage is in the yard of Sandbach Commercial Dismantlers and has been for several years. The red star and a few Cyrillic letters suggest it belonged to an Eastern bloc country, but comparing this with the first Geograph for the square in 2006 Image it appears these have been added within the last ten years, replacing the previous RAF roundel. According to the website demobbed.org.uk it is a Hawker Siddeley Andover, built for the RAF in the 1960s. See also Image
