Their website provides plenty of information on what GJD carry out which includes road transportation and an array of other services.

Hi All,
Hasn’t Iron Maidens Bruce Dickenson got something going on at St Athan ? Maybe it’s something to do with that ?

I thought the Tristars were earmarked for tanker duties in the US?

With all these aircraft moving will Bruntingthorpe become one big car park ?

Its a matter of who owns what.

GJD are now based at St Athan, so its only natural that their aircraft would move there.

Not sure about a museum, but there is certainly a lot of historic activity. Already Sea King ZG822, Jet Provost XP672, Phantom cockpit XV499 have arrived from Bruntingthorpe, plus Jet Provost XW420 from elsewhere. Lightning ZF580 and Dakota KP208 are there for restoration for other locations. I’ve read that VC-10 ZA147 and Herald G-CEXP may also end up here.
