Just a thought, Andrew, are the guys going to remove the starboard engine nacelle so that it doesn’t get damaged during transport, witness damage to 894, 889, 900 & possibly others where the drivers have had to brake suddenly and the load shifts a little, crushing the front lip of the nacelle.

You’re looking cool and refreshed there Mr buccsociety 🙂

I would hardly say I was cool, what with all that Grey hair, and I am only 33 yrs old, but refreshed, absolutely!! 😀 For those not in the know, I am the one on the far Left of the pic with the Green overalls and the Black T-Shirt, cheers Mark, are you going to the Delta Day at Kemble in September?? 😎

Tyres are not an issue for XX894 once she is up and running, we have three sets of main and two sets of nose tyres, we could be persuaded to part company with a set if the funds are correct.
We have a constant supply of scrubbed rubber and this will continue for the foreseeable future.
544 main problems lie in the lack of engines and leaky fuel tanks, I am sure that Buccaneer Preservations will do there utmost to get her running, but its going to take time.

First chance I have had to say welcome to the board Mr Webber.

Are the Police now charging for the escort to bring 544 to Brunty? We were notified last year that this would take effect as of January 1st 2004, this was one of the reasons for moving 894 in double quick time.

Best of luck with the move and we hope to be in attendance to see the newest addition to the Cold War Jet Collection arrive on site. 😎

Please see attached of XW554 taken by Mr Webber’s father, Dave in March 2001.

I like the way that this thread has gone from a crack at the Red Bull commentator to what is and what isn’t a warbird.

Hell, the Buccaneer, Jaguar, Tornado, Sea Harrier, Vulcan & Victor are also Warbirds!!!! Having seen service in the Gulf and the Falklands!! Both of which were wars!!!!!!!!

any chance of getting back to the original thread??????????? 😡

Bucc Society – Yep the Ogri P**s up was good eh? Talking to one of the Bar staff on showday they said they ran out of beer! 😀

Yeah that’s right, all Lager & Bitter was consumed by the early hours leaving only CIDER, which in turn was gone by the time ORGI closed up. Good job Glen didn’t stay to offer everyone a beer!!! 😮 , profit, what profit 😀

I enjoyed spotting those with hang overs in the morning, myself included (once I had looked in the mirror), who’s up for next year??? 😀

Well, how was it for you all? My highlights and I hate to say this being a Classic Jet freak, was firstly the CHINOOK display, the static Chinook’s arrival behind the VC-10 (man, that it is one serious down draft!!!) and the ever impressive Sea Vixen.
Great show all in all.
I raise my glass to yet another successful Kemble Air Day, well done Glen, Merv and the rest of the team who made it all possible.

That’s enough from me, anyone up for another party at OGRI???? 😀

I ‘m gonna need it………………….. :confused:

Nah, we’ll be alright, you have a great team behind you, just look at what we managed in one day on Saturday, compared to last year which took 3 days!!!!!!! Now that’s progressing and team work!! 😎
