Buccaneer 60th
With Monday being the 60th Anniversary of the first flight of NA39, which went on to be the Buccaneer, there are a couple of events at Bruntingthorpe on Saturday and Elvington on Sunday featuring the Banana jet which would be fun for those interested.
I have been led to believe tickets my need to be be pre-booked, if so this is probably too late notice now. I don't have all the details to hand (not being in the country currently) but I'm sure Google would assist.

As a teenager I used to bike from my home in York to watch the prototype NA 39s testing at Holme on Spalding Moor....looking great in their blue and white schemes
