Any explanation for this collection of vehicles in this location?

If there are rail vehicles it would suggest that there is a rail connection, so was it a marshalling yard that was abandoned (with carriages left behind)?

Does the owner of the land imagine that the road vehicles will constitute an investment? - or is it merely somewhere for owners to dump their vehicles (maybe in return for a payment)?

Does there seem to be any attempt to supply parts from this collection? Were any of the vehicles for sale?

Where do the aircraft come into the picture? Presumably they were flown in, so although you mention a hill, there must be an area of level land for the airstrips?

It certainly sounds like a fascinating find and something of an Aladdin's Cave for folks like us.

As you suggest, it must be visible from the main highway - but did you have to drive far to reach it?
