Great shots, thanks for sharing these with us. I think the first one is my personal favourite.

I saw the video of this last night on YT and wished I had gone and wondered how the stills would come out. Whats the story with the second bucc in the primer that was also present?

Second Bucc awaiting a repaint. Hopefully fully restored by April.

That would be their second taxable Buccaneer, XW544, which is undergoing an external restoration at the moment - https://the-buccaneer-aviation-group.com/xw544/

[There's a few progress updates about XW544 on some Facebook posts of theirs (https://www.facebook.com/TbagCotswoldAirport/)]

Beautiful! The Bucc was always one of my favourite jets! Last memory of them was seeing 2 of them tear up the beach at Mumbles on the Gower many years ago!
