Apologies if this has already been posted, but I thought I’d post a link to these pics posted on Feb 23rd on the SAAF Forum. They appear to show ex-Thunder City Bucc XW987 / ZU-BCR doing an air test!

It seems to be confirmed on Facebook and Thunder & Lightnings:

I assume the Buccaneer is not as complex to maintain as the Lightning ?

It’s being opereted privately now rather than commercially.

Bearing in mind what happened to the Lightning is this good or bad news?
Might depend on who is going to be doing the flying ?

Would the CAA allow her to fly over here or is it under the same restrictions that the Lightning had.
