Ah if only they could get their Bucc airworthy again as well. Buccaneer G-HHAA (XX 885). Nice to see FW back Southside if only fleeting.

3 Airworthy up for auction at Thunder City LOL

But more importantly, CAA has given permission for G-HHAA to fly with "complex aircraft" certification, so unlike the Thunder City jets, there's an outside possibility she could grace UK skies again. Even if she was always a crab cab.

I'm not really sure what to make of this. These 1950's vintage aircraft were deemed unsuitable for the task when they were retired nearly 20 years ago. And now were are using them again, but under contract to HHA. Smacks of desperation to me.
