Bucc nose by Rob Finch Via Flickr: Royal Air Force No.12 Squadron Blackburn (Hawker-Siddeley) Buccaneer S.2 XX900 in the static park at the RAF Mildenhall 'Air Fete' in May 1993 Designed in the 1950's for the Royal Navy's Fleet Air Arm, the 'Bucc' was a shipboard bomber designed to carry a nuclear weapon at wave top level to strike at the heart of the enemy by skimming across the sea undetected by radar Once the Navy retired their last steam-catapult equipped Aircraft carrier - HMS Ark Royal, the Buccaneers were transferred to the RAF which reluctantly accepted their 'Naval' legacy but in the end the 'Flying Banana' worked it's way into the latter's hearts being used as a highly effective target designator during the first Gulf War Re-photographed from a poor 35mm Kodak Transparency 276A0948
