The last time that I saw this plane was in the pouring rain at Fairford. Now it is enjoying the sunshine in the Leicestershire countryside after her retirement. It still carries the 40th anniversary markings.

During my previous visit to this wonderful museum this aircraft had it's night cap on and Buccaneer XX894 was uncovered. This time it was the other way around. This a/c is ex-Romanian AF but the marking appear to be imaginary (I'd be happy to be informed otheriwise if anyone has other info).

Just one of the exhibits on static display at this very friendly, interesting museum. Thanks to Geoff (Jeff?) and the rest of the staff for helping to make our day so memorable.

Bruntingthorpe isn't like any other musem, rather a large open, apron where mechanics fix/maintain/repaint/tinker with beautiful old aeroplanes. There was so much stuff/junk around this plane that only a record shot of the whole plane was possible. She has though acquired a new scheme and so I thought at least a tail shot may be of interest.

The rear fuselage section had been removed and was sitting on this trailer with the rest of the plane 50m behind me when this shot was taken. The tail fin now sports a Romanian roundel instead of the scorpion depicted previously.

I thought that this shot would be of interest giving an unusual view of the Victor nose section on display at this wonderful 'museum'. Bruntingthorpe is also a fully functioning airfield as evidenced by the light aircraft in the background that had arrived as a mass fly-in.

This aircraft was really XR541 in RAF service with 4 FTS at RAF Valley and then she became a ground instructional trainer at RAF St. Athan as 8602M. It was there where she was repainted and acquired this fictional serial. She has been rescued by Phoenix Aviation at Bruntingthorpe and will receive all the TLC that she deserves.
