RAF Scampton Heritage Centre

Post by Ollie » Sun Jun 27, 2021 8:17 pm

Hello all,

I've been looking at the Heritage Centre and noticed an SU-22 there, could anyone please tell me if this is still in the Heritage centre?

Thank you,
Ollie

It’s not what you look at that matters. It’s what you see.

Hi Freeman,

Thank you very much for the information. Is it at all possible to get to see the SU-22 on base, or is that a no-go?

Cheers,
Ollie.

The Su-22 is presently on loan on display in the Heritage Centre .

Drop them a PM and ask about visits which I think are still cancelled due to Covid ? ; https://www.facebook.com/RAF-Scampton-H ... 834658486/ .

Hi Ollie,

I can confirm that our SU-22M4, F-4F & Hunter T.8 are still on display in the Heritage Centre on station, for all to see. Visits have started again as of two or three weeks ago, so drop them an email and get booked in. It's a fantastic tour.

Ah!
Andy, many thanks for this. The Heritage Centre is on our to do list for the Friday before the East Kirkby show.
Some years ago we read that the HHA were having an ex-service GAF F-4F overhauled prior to being added to their fleet. Would you know what became of this, please?
