Buccaneer on the M25...

Postby Gully » Thu May 19, 2011 5:59 pm

As Gill and I were leaving the M25 and getting onto the M40 on our way up to Abingdon on Sunday 8th May 2011, a desert pink cammo Buccaneer was on a low loader going northbound on the M25. I'd wondered if it was Hendon's, but that was still in place as of the AGM last weekend and the only other preserved Buccs I know of in desert storm colours are Elvington's (bit far afield) and Kemble's (not sure why that would not be at Kemble.

Any knowledge out there?

Thanks,

Gully

Hmmmm, I wonder if this is the one my friend was on about, he used to show people around it at Kemble, XX889.
He said it was at (going to??) Bruntingthorpe????


This was the short conversation we had about it.

Scott - Are you going to Bucctingthorpe at the end of the month???
