F-86F ikke lenger å se i Europa

Calling anyone near Doncaster interested in becoming a hangar volunteer

Tour party









Sad to report that the only airworthy F-86A Sabre in Europe 
is now boxed up and ready to leave these shores for a new 
life in the United States. It really has been an incredible 
aircraft on the display circuit over many years and although 
going back ‘home’ to be very well looked after, it will be 
greatly missed. 

This particular one as an A-type holds the distinction of being 

the oldest jet powered aircraft still flying in the world, a real 
credit to the owners and pilots who have looked after her 
over the years. 

See this lovely video that captures just how significant the 

aircraft was in her time and truly part of ‘engineering 
 heritage’, just like XH558.
