Buccaneer S.2B XW544 Rollout Event and
Nightshoot at Bruntingthorpe Airfield,
together with the other T-BAG Buccaneers,
held on March 24th 2012 Page 2 of 3
On the 24th of March 2012 I attended the Buccaneer XW544 rollout event & nightshoot
which was held at Bruntingthorpe Airfield in Leicestershire.
The event was held to mark the unveiling of Buccaneer XW544 in its brand new
colour scheme. The aircraft looked immaculate, together with the other 3
Buccaneers owned or operated by the Buccaneer Aviation Group or "T-BAGS".
These were XX894/R/020, XX900 and XX889/T (in its Desert Pink "Sky Pirates" scheme).
XX900 is owned by Dave Walton and is part of the Cold War Jets Collection,
XX889/T is owned by Gary Spoors of GJD Services who's an honourary member of the "T-BAGS".
These aircraft are a real credit to the volunteers who have worked tirelessly to get at
least 3 out of the 4 into taxiable and ground-runable condition.
This was a truly memorable event providing some very unusual and unique
access to these beautiful, cold war era, jet aircraft.
Also taking part and as an added bonus were the LPG's English Electric Lightning F.6 XR728
which did several engine runs, minus a number of access panels and G-MEDX,
a Sloane Helicopters Agusta A-109 which arrived to take an injury off to hospital.
