Another story concerns a show at Cranfield. The Bucc was due to display (remember them). It had started the engines and a ground crew member went to pull the chocs out but one of them was completely wedged. There were several frantic minutes as people tried to pull and kick to get the stubborn bugger out. Eventually someone got a crowbar and smashed it to get it out. It was one of the Bucc's last displays in the UK and I'd like to think it was just objecting to its impending retirement.
