XX885 – Current Condition

Ive noticed elsewhere that HHA’s Buccaneer (XX885 – G-HHAA) has been described as not being airworthy, I was under the impression that XX885 was kept in an airworthy condition at Scampton is this incorect ?

Also do they still ground run XX885 and if so how often ?

‘airworthy’ as a definition is quite broad – she might be able to taxy and indeed probably fly but so could a number of ground runners. The difference is the ability to do it legally – a Permit to Fly hasn’t been issued for her .
