ATAC

Thx Jean-Luc,

Forwarded message - From: <ailesetplumes>



Le Commodore de l'US Navy ( Mark) qui m'avait invité trois jours à bord du carrier Abraham Lincoln, est maintenant retraité et  a rejoint la compagnie ATAC. Il est passé du F-18E au Hunter Mk.58!
Quand il ne brule pas du kérozène dans son Hunter il brule de la 100 octanes dans son T-6 et son PT-17.
All the best / Jean-Luc

Aviation Event Review – 20 More Years of The Mighty Buccaneer

by Glenn Beasley
It’s hard to believe that it has been 20 years since the iconic shape of the Blackburn Buccaneer left the RAF inventory, but that’s what the celebrations were all about on Saturday 29th March at Bruntinghtorpe airfield, near Leicestershire. With unseasonably mild temperatures, blue skies and sunshine, both models belonging to the Buccaneer Aviation Group, S2Bs XW544 and XW894, both looked superb in their shiny new coats of paint, XW964’s being her first outing for 12 months following an in depth service and a full re-paint. Glenn Beasley was there for GAR.
