The aircraft at 0:43 are old retired Dassault MD.452 Mystère IVA. The markings they carry are French air force. The 'target' is the French Air Force markings. They were supplied to the French by the US under the defence agreement. After service they were retired and ended up on the RAF range.
16:53 The aircraft are ex-French Air Force Dassault MD.452 Mystère IVA and still carry the French Air Force markings. The large pods are external aircraft fuel tanks. They are from RAF Panavia Tornado aircraft. A lot of people exploring Spadeadam mistake them for missiles or bombs. They are Panavia Tornado aircraft ‘Hindenburger’ 2250 Litre Fuel tanks. The area you are filming is layed out to represent an airfield with dispersed aircraft and equipment as targets.
The aircraft at 7:25 are Lockheed T-33A Shooting Star. They are ex-Belgian Air Force training aircraft. The red stars were painted on them to represent Soviet/Russian aircraft for training range/airfield purposes at Spadeadam.
At 1.25 'God knows what that is...' It's the logistic overpack for 4 Milan Anti-Tank missiles a medium range ground launched infantry weapon with a range of approx 2000m. Replaced by NLAW and JAVELIN in the 00s
11:44 It is a Russian ZSU-23-4 "Shilka" is a lightly armored Soviet self-propelled, radar-guided anti-aircraft weapon system. After the break-up of the Soviet Union and the Warsaw Pact a lot of equipment such as used by East Germany was distributed to NATO for target ranges.
