The event will mark the 30th anniversary of the type being withdrawn from service in April 1994. As well as the fast taxi, the day will include close-up access to the aircraft, a hydraulic demonstration, photographic opportunities and tours of the cockpit. There will also be various special guests turning up, plus a range of merchandise on sale and a line-up of Buccaneer cockpits to inspect. The guests and cockpits will be announced on the group’s media pages once details are finalised.
