THE UK's 'youngest' urban explorer has discovered an aviation graveyard full of old planes, including a British military aircraft from the Cold War.<\/p>\n
The exploration took place in an undisclosed location in the Midlands, where this explorer, aged just 10, discovered an old Handley Page Victor Survivor XM715.<\/p>\n

This is a jet-powered strategic bomber that was built during the Cold War and was reportedly retired in 1968.<\/p>\n
As well as the retired bomber, you can see two other planes in these stunning pictures: a de Havilland DH-106 Comet, one of the world's first commercial jet airliners and a BAC Jet Provost, which was used by the RAF as a jet trainer.<\/p>\n
The abandoned planes are reported to have been part of a museum collection in the past, but they have now been forgotten and left to rot near some warehouses.<\/p>\n
Beau, from Northampton, has been running his own social media page Exploring with Beau with the help of his parents since 2019.<\/p>\n
This is the latest and greatest in his catalogue of amazing explorations, and being a youngster, he couldn't resist the urge to try and sit in the pilot's seat of one of the planes.<\/p>\n
He said: "I went with my dad – he'd been before with his friend at night.\u00a0<\/p>\n
"I saw the pictures and asked if I'd be able to go during half term one day.<\/p>\n
"We got in through a hole in the perimeter fencing and went through loads of stinging nettles and brambles to get closer.<\/p>\n
