The Buccaneer which has stood as Gate Guard at RAF Honington for many years has been removed and is to be replaced by a Tornado. The good news is that the Bucc is to be restored.

The Bucc is now at Binbrook (presumably for restoration). Whether it then returns to Honington isn't clear from the article. The Tornado (which is reported as already being in situ on the gate) is ZG752.

Passed the gate again today and the gate guard spot is empty. Anyone know what is happening about the Tornado as stated above?
