Buccaneer At Weston

 

The presence of weird and wonderfully visitors and new residents for EIWT Weston is becoming more obvious. Last summer (2007), Buccaneer XV863 a Gulf war veteran became the newest of a long line of unique craft to come to Weston. It is believed to be part of a much larger long term plan to have an aviation museum at the airfield which has previously applied for such facilities.

The Buccaneer has taken residency after a long service life and a spell as RAF Lossiemouth's gate guard.

Full service history of the aircraft is available at:

It is believed the aircraft which is currently not in flying condition will remain at Weston and will presumably acquire some hangerage over the coming year after a recent repaint.
