Many in Cape Town sorely missed the Thunder City fast jets at the last airshow at AFB Ysterplaat in December. There were whispers that the Buccaneers would make an appearance but it was not to be.
We were truly privileged to see up to 4 EE Lightnings, 3 Buccaneers and a good few Hunters in the skies over Cape Town. The Lightnings and Buccs are the only flying examples in the world.
Sad then to discover it would seem unlikely that we will see them take to the skies over Cape Town again. They're up for auction. We can but wonder where they will find new places to take to the sky...
