The past two Saturday’s saw further prep work with XX894 prior to its upcoming event celebrating 50 years of the airframe.

***Next Weekend*** 50 Years of XX894 Next weekend will see TBAG's first fast taxi event of 2025 at Cotswold Airport, celebrating 50 years since XX894 made its first flight! There are still a handful of tickets left, available through our website.

Saturday saw another productive day of prep work before the big day this coming weekend!

SOLD OUT! Our 50 Years of XX894 event being held this weekend has now sold out. If you have purchased tickets, please check your emails for joining instructions and don’t forget to bring a hi-viz!

The big day is nearly here! Don’t forget to check your emails for joining instructions.

After a lot of sweat and tears, over the past few weeks, XX894 has finally performed its first public taxi run since 2019! We everyone enjoyed the event and we hope to see everyone back again soon.

After a small break, let's recap on our 50 Years of XX894 event!

After such a big event, the team would normally have a break, but instead, we all cracked on with some tasks that needed completing!

Were you not able to attend our 50 Years event a few weeks back? Here’s what you missed!

The past two weekends have been relatively quiet at Cotswold Airport, however, some activity has still taken place!

It’s been a long day here at Cotswold Airport!

What a weekend! Let's start with the big news - XW544 has begun to change colour!

Watch this video to check out our latest progress on XW544’s external restoration!

Not a lot to add from the weekend just gone due to weather preventing the team from finishing off the priming stage of XW544. Those who were on site removed the remaining masking tape and began flatting the primer off and smoothing any rough areas where the overspray had dried.

This weekend saw TBAG have a small presence at Cotswold Airport's very busy and popular Vintage Fly-In with a shop and our cockpit XW550 on display! It was hoped we could perform a taxi run but unfortunately, this wasn't possible due to a number of factors.

Last Wednesday, Cotswold Airport saw a visit from the Gnat Display Team who flew in Gnat G-MOUR as part of a reunion for former Gnat air and ground crews. TBAG played a supporting role in providing our low pressure air start equipment to start up the Gnat ready for its departure

Although TBAG are not attending the RAF Cosford Airshow this weekend, our friends at Threshold.aero are selling a small selection of our stock on our behalf. Please do pop along and say hello to the friendly guys at Threshold.aero if you are passing by.

We have just reached the halfway mark of 2025 and we are already busy planning for 2026. What better way to kick 2026 than joining TBAG and Threshold.aero at Cotswold Airport for an evening of photography with two Buccaneers? Book your tickets today via our website.

XW544 currently looking like a 1:1 scale Airfix kit in bare plastic, but looking rather fresh nonetheless in its primer coat! Soon time to add some colour so long as the weather remains kind to us - fingers crossed!

Some of the team were busy this weekend attending the Abingdon Air & Country Show, and some of the team back at Cotswold Airport were making the most of the weather once again, this time adding some colour back to XW544!
