Re-erection of the RAF Wattisham QRA Shed at Bruntingthorpe is well under way!
The next stage is to rehang the rear doors to get these two valuable aircraft fully undercover and
protected from the elements.
Completion is in sight......but.......... Further funds are however still desperately needed!
Despite your already generous support there is still a funding gap.

The Lightning Preservation Group (LPG) are currently raising funds to re-erect the former RAF Wattisham Quick Reaction Alert (QRA) hangar at Bruntingthorpe Airfield, Leics.The hangar is historic in it's own right, being one of only three built in the UK, it will protect both aircraft from the elements and serve as a unique museum and memorial to the "Lightning Force" and the Cold War period. £120,000 is needed to accomplish this aim. This fund currently stands at around £110,000. Re-erection work is well under way! Now more than ever, we need YOUR support NOW in order to be able to complete this project. The "Q"shed, once complete, will form a unique museum of everything Lightning as well as stopping the aircraft deteriorating thereby keeping these historic aircraft serviceable and available for you, the public, to enjoy. If you have the time, then please attend one of the Open Days. If you wish to make a donation any amount however small will be welcome. Donations of £50 or greater will ensure that your name is permanently displayed on the QRA sheds alongside for example the likes of:- Wg Cdr "Bee" Beamont CBE, DSO*, DFC*, DL, FRAeS. The web address of the LPG at Bruntingthorpe Airfield is:- The two F Mk 6 Lightnings that are owned and maintained by the LPG are registration numbers XR 728 (ex-RAF Binbrook) THEY PROTECTED YOU NOW YOU PROTECT THEM! |
