Cool pics!
Heres a pic at Abingdon of two on the ramp prior to Major Servicing which was undertaken in D Hangar……. you’ll find this image on http://www.abingdonfayre.com (go to ‘RAF Abingdon Tribute & Today’ page).

If i remember rightly, with the exception of sh*tty weather, the Buccs whether it on delivery, air test or outbound they did some cracking low flybys at high speed at Abbo….. the final delivery of the last two Buccs from Maintenance when it ceased in Feb 92 i’ll never forget…. we all “downed tools” to line the taxiway, both blasted off & around the town to say “bye”, back over the airfield in a dirty pass ending in both wazzing along low before a vertical departure…. truly an amazing machine & if i can find those images of the final two Buccs i will post! 😀

I did have the owners details about two years ago… but now aint!
I think, if memory serves me rightly, i just contacted the Nottinghamshire County Council & explained what i’d like & they gave me the owners name etc…….simple as that!
Heard he is a reluctant bugger anyway!!

Archer – Nice pics & great you posted this as i went there back in 89 whilst at RAF Bruggen for a weeks stay, was a good museum i recall & somewhere i have some pics: distinctly remember those a/c, plus things like a searchlight, tanks, V1 “Doodlebug” , a V2 Rocket & loads of other stuff…

Cor wow!!! As you can imagine, very interested in anything Abingdon related – don’t know why :rolleyes:

I have quite a few pics now inherited from various paople (thanks Steve Bond, Albert Ross etc) and just inherited another 120 B/W pics from later shows (78, 79, 81)…..

Mark 12 – any chance of a copy of the air – air pics to go on display in our RAF Abingdon stand?
PM if you could sir….

Kemble Hangar Footy – pre-show party Sat eve, Damien B & OAG will know!
Made history by passing ‘the test’ to kick a football clean over a hangar!! 😀

Lows – RIAT, not like it used to be and getting more expensive by the year!
Tho the Super Hornet was cracking, and the informal 3 ship on monday after Waddington of the Belgian F16 & 2 Saab 105 formation was certainly different, as was the B52 beat up on the monday at Leuchars (upon start up called “Fairford Ground” – hmmm long way from their matey!).

All for the small shows ie Sywell – very relaxed and also Turweston VAC fly Ins which need abit of support at the moment.
