The last British bombers on exercise in the Mediterranean. A collection of video clips of Buccaneer aircraft from 12(B) and 208 Squadrons portraying the awesome ultra low flying capability of this truly magnificant British bomber.

The boys are being a bit shy here, they can go lower than that. When we went on exercise in the Skagerrak some of them would come back with seaweed wrapped round the pylons.

Right title: "pirates". Taken off from an airport built upon Spanish soil, flying through Spanish air space... According to the Treaty of Utrecht, Gibraltar´s airport runway is by no means British.

Beautifully quirky looking aircraft. Far better looking than the F-35 that might someday get into service.

@doffincodger Feature from the carrier days (that is what is was designed for) when these were catapult launched straight into the air, the undercarriage was probably only on the deck for a few seconds

@pianoman2121 I don't know the Type 42 had a pretty good record against low level bombers in the Falklands it could have held its own

Classy aircraft.

when I first started watching this, I thought the soundtrack choice was a bit odd, but yes, its a perfect fit as you keep watching.
great footage, great flying, and an even greater video !
Never really knew this aircraft very well, like most I expect, but yes, another great British aircraft lost , as they have all been lost one by one, still amazed and can't believe Harriers been sacked !!!! outrageous !!
Anyway, another characterful British plane etched in British combat aviation history !

@801SQNOEM Couldn't agree more.
@Everyone Thumbs up if you want to see the formation of a "Cold War Memorial Flight"
(Comprising at the very least the Vulcan / Victor / TSR-2 / Sea Vixen / Lightning & Buccaneer ; )

Lower Faster Longer the best low level aircraft of all time period! My old man (no longer with us) worked on these with 801 sqn in late 60's thru early 70's.I grew up near lossie and one of my earliest memories is being buzzed on a regular basis by buccs.
On excersises with USS Forestall in the med my old man told me Yanks couldn't do anything against the mighty buccs too low, fast and both for too long.
We got the Vulcan back up we really really got get a bucc back up.
Thanks best bucc vid !!!!
