crobinsonh Posted June 12, 2020 Share Posted June 12, 2020 You may be aware that there have been some big changes at Bruntingthorpe where we run our 2 live Buccaneers. This is the note on our Facebook page. The Buccaneer Aviation Group Published by Andrew Webber · 9 hrs · The Buccaneer Aviation Group is very pleased to announce that our new home will be Cotswold Airport – Kemble As many of you will know Kemble has been home to some of the Buccaneers before, following retirement from the Royal Air Force. And we look forward to making some more Rolls Royce Spey noise there for you all to hear ! Following consultation with Cox automotive at Bruntingthorpe a timeline is in place that will see us vacated and in residence at Kemble before September 30th. In the next few hours and days you will see that we have been busy preparing for this and will be launching a crowdfunding scheme with some exciting rewards for our supporters to help us achieve our goal and allow the aircraft to continue to move under their power. Transport quotes are already being received and we really do need your help ! The Buccaneer Aviation Group will be able to continue to hold taxi days and other events at Kemble to fund our continuing existence and we have also agreed to provide active care for the Canberra pr9’S , Hunter T7 and Gnat already in residence. We are extremely pleased to have found a new home where we can continue to keep the history alive, and thank you in advance for any help given. We will of course keep you updated as the move progresses and hope to see you all at Cotswold airport. https://www.crowdfunder.co.uk/save-relocate-tbags-operational-buccaneer-jets?fbclid=IwAR0b_E41nCx0xeBDH0XH5-uHPrDUSOzYukGfJSGChTuwhOjEPP89qSfd8IA Landrotten Highlander, Derek B and Stevepd 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stevepd Posted June 13, 2020 Share Posted June 13, 2020 I’ve been up there a couple of times and have been entertained by you all. I must be on the moon as I didn’t know you’d all been asked to vacate. Good luck with the relocation and at least you’re still able to run, silver lining and all that. crobinsonh 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Confusionreigns178 Posted October 11, 2020 Share Posted October 11, 2020 Unfortunately, it's now pretty darn certain that we've seen last of the Cold War taxy-days at Bruntingthorpe, due to a change of venue management and a number of other factors. There is talk of the Lightning Preservation Group remaining there in some capacity, but details are not yet public. Watch this space for further news. Chris.
