Fancy owning a piece of RAF history? You'll need somewhere to store it too
Two retired Red Arrows aircraft from RAF Scampton are being auctioned after leaving the closed base.
The aircraft are now available for viewings at the Leyburn site, and will be sold at auction by Agility on Friday February 3.The company said: “We had the pleasure of moving two retired Red Arrows from RAF Scampton, which has been the home of the Red Arrows since 1983, which makes them one of the longest-resident flying units in the station’s history.
Scampton – the famous World War Two base of the Dambusters squadron – closed in 2022 and the Red Arrows have remained in Lincolnshire, moving to RAF Waddington last autumn. The other is a Folland Gnat – not the model used by the squadron, whose current aircraft are all BAE Hawks.
