QRA Hangar Development

Re-erection of the RAF Wattisham QRA Shed is 80% complete thanks to the generosity of our supporters. Here are few photos of its resurrection so far.

Scramble!

A dramatic MoD photo of a No 5 (F) Sqn Lightning "QRA Alert" at night.

Alert states of "10mins" or more (time from alert call to having to be airborne) could normally be held from the Sqn Ops building.

Higher states of alert required crews to remain in the accommodation block immediately adjacent to the "Q" aircraft.

Once the RAF Wattisham QRA sheds have been re-erected at Bruntingthorpe airfield by the LPG, then dramatic scenes such as these can be re-enacted, and they will also serve as a working museum. To achieve this goal we urgently need donations. Can you assist?
