this example of the type is a Buccaneer S.2B. XX901 “The Flying Mermaid” saw action in the Gulf war and is now lovingly preserved at Yorkshire Air Museum.

It’s such a weird plane. But somehow it looks really good flying at top speed at minimal altitude, exactly what is what made for.
I have to go over my slides from the early 90s to look up the ones on RIAT static.

Its a big old beast really. I do like the bucc. But then, im a big fan of all cold war jets tbh.

So,I was fortunate enough to have a fast taxi ride in buccaneer XX894 over the Easter weekend courtesy of The Buccaneer Aviation Group (TBAG). This was the old gal just after ready for her photo shoot

Sorry forgot to answer this Roger. Er it’s all top secret at the moment. I did ask but they didn’t want to tell me just yet. Apparently we will hear soon.

How do I upload a vid Roger. Keeps telling me there was an error occured
I don’t think we allow for videos. Need to check it but I’m away from my main computer. Storage space is limited though.
I suspected so. I will get some photos up soon.
Very cool!
