Buccaneer given permission to fly again in the UK
Discussion
Before I get too 
tonight I just read this (couple of weeks old news though) on www.thunder-and-lightnings.co.uk
9th December 2005. Hawker Hunter Aviation at Scampton today made this announcement: "HHA were today granted approval by the Civil Aviation Authority Management Committee to operate their BAe Buccaneer Aircraft (G-HHAA / XX885) on the UK civil register. This is the culmination of almost five years worth of effort and in excess of 3250 man hours of design verification work. This does not include any engineering work on the aircraft at all! As such it will be the first Complex category aircraft to fly in UK airspace and is a testament to the excellence of the HHA engineering and operational team. Major overhaul work and lifed component replacement on the aircraft will commence shortly, with a first flight target currently envisaged for 2006." What brilliant news - congratulations to all at HHA - can't wait to see the Last British Bomber airborne again!
