RAF Honington Gate Guard

Post by Snoop 95 » Sun Sep 29, 2024 8:46 am

The Buccaneer which has stood as Gate Guard at RAF Honington for many years has been removed and is to be replaced by a Tornado. The good news is that the Bucc is to be restored.

The Bucc is now at Binbrook (presumably for restoration). Whether it then returns to Honington isn't clear from the article. The Tornado (which is reported as already being in situ on the gate) is ZG752.

The Buccaneer was reported as going to Binbrook a while back.
