memorial, aircraft on display
XK526 stands as a reminder of Honington's past, when the Buccaneer OCU was stationed here. She looks more like a plastic mockup than a real aircraft though, with high gloss paintscheme and a black-painted canopy.
It was made a Memorial so the RAF Regiment could not remove it as with a Gate Guardian that can be removed or replaced.
