Re-erection of the RAF Wattisham QRA Shed at Bruntingthorpe is now well under way!

The next stage is to hang the doors to get these two valuable aircraft fully undercover and protected from the elements

The Lightning Preservation Group (LPG) are currently in the process of raising funds to re-erect the RAF Wattisham QRA (Quick Reaction Alert) Sheds as a permanent hangar for their 2 Lightnings, and will also serve as a museum.

£100,000 is needed to accomplish this aim.

This fund currently stands at around £60,000.

Re-erection work is well under way!
The steel work has been erected & concrete floor finished! Roof cladding will commence on 5th Nov 2007.

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.
