The Delfin is ex Soviet Air Force coded '18' red. Also ex Latvia as YL-PAF (c/n 591771).
It's fairly easy to find if you walk down the passageway between the hangars in the cafe main car park then turn right there's an open storage area and you'll find the disassembled pieces alongside a red shipping container to the right.
Cheers, Dave H

The road next to Gardner's which was blocked off by concrete blocks, has now been occupied by travellers.

The road next to Gardner's which was blocked off by concrete blocks, has now been occupied by travellers. Happens quite often around there but you can still walk through their "camp"

UPDATE I visited the Aviation Park at Hawarden yesterday to photograph the Russkie aircraft that are displayed outdoors. After signing in at the security gate I thought I'd had a wasted journey when the guard told me that there was no photography permitted on site. Undaunted I spoke to Caroline at the Chocks Away Cafe who confirmed that taking photos was ok and the prohibited notice relates to the airfield staff and in particular no photography is allowed inside any of the hangars. She also said that if anyone challenged me to say that I had permission to do so from the cafe. Not long found out that no photography is permitted after passing the security barriers, unless prior permission has been granted. If you're picked up on CCTV taking any shots you can be banned from visiting the site in the future.

Hawarden Facebook Group has published an update on Photography rules from the Aviation Park Group Ltd as follows:
"Photography on site is strictly restricted to the viewing area at Chocks Away Diner. Any person(s) found breaking this rule will be removed from site and is at risk of being banned permanently.
Photography elsewhere on site is prohibited unless prior permission is sought from a member of the Aviation Park Group team. Any person(s) found breaking this rule will be removed from site and is at risk of being banned permanently.
Any photography that includes any part of the Airbus UK Broughton Facility is strictly prohibited. Any person(s) found breaking this rule will be removed from site and is at risk of being banned permanently."
So it's apparently ok to take pics from Chocks Away as long as you don't have the Airbus buildings in frame!
cheers

May 7 & 28 are public holidays so I guess no work would be scheduled on the runway.
