As for offers of assistance – well the Aeropark has been at it a long time and the last time they helped a group who needed a
lend of a STAD starter trolley it took a long time to come back and was a kit of parts.

We offered a free of charge service, not them offering us, all we asked was for them to obtain a quantity of OX-16, our stocks of 16 is running very low and do not wish to part with any of it.

It is good to hear that she is receiving attention, please guys, if you need any help give either myself or adwwebber a PM.

Best of luck for the future.

PS: Thanks for the images Les, I will be in contact tomorrow.

Not a thing mate, I guess our help is not needed for the time being, would be nice to help the guys out, could I ask, if any forum member happens to vist the East Midlands Aero Park, please, please, please, can you get us some up close and personal shots of Bucc 350, concern is starting to set in.

The team are to remove, check and rectify any problems with the Canberra’s brakes before a high speed taxi can be conducted, but it is seriously hoped that she WILL perform a fast run on September 5th. I will update when I next see Roger and Arthur (should be next weekend).

Anyone point me in the right direction for the remanufacture of main fuel pipes for Bucc 894? :confused:

I have heard that Nev Martin is up for bidding for her as a source of spares, but as you mention, Propstrike, she is badly corroded, Staravia anyone (The scrapman cometh!!!)
That reminds me, must post up a new thread on Scrap Aircraft………….More to follow!!

Bucc XW530 at The Buccaneer Service Station, Elgin, Scotland, enjoy Andrew. This shot was taken very recently by Blackburn Buccaneer Society member, Derek Cowan and as such, the image is his copyright. Nice bike, Derek!! 😀

Well I have found out the guys member name, James B, you can find it by searching the member list. He has only made 10 or so posts, so he should not too hard to miss. I will send him a PM in the morning.

544 Was indeed a weapons loading trainer but she was at Cosford until till 96 when she was roaded out to Shawbury, hence why she had damage to one of her airbrake petals (hit one of the road signs outside Cosford). I have some pics of her on the low loader somewhere, I will try and find them later and post a couple up.

Judging by the amount of reads on this topic, there are quite a few people looking forwards to seeing THREE Bucc’s in the same place apart from South Africa.
