A Request - Buccaneer display photos

Post by johnwickenden » Tue Dec 10, 2019 6:33 pm

Folks

Not sure if I am allowed to post this here - if not then apologies!

Instead of posting photos I'm asking others to post for me.

A friend of mine was the RAF display pilot on the Buccaneer during its final season before the type was retired (Neil Benson, 208Sqn). Does anyone have photos of the aircraft during displays that year (think it was 1993?). I know Neil flew the displays at Mildenhall, Fairford, Londonderry and Woodford...not sure which other ones.

Any photos would be of great interest !

Thanks

John
Its gonna rain, its gonna rain till the levee breaks, a tidal wave of fear and pain washes us away, another fight into the night until nothing else remains, how do we find harbour from the Hurricane?

Here's a sequence of pics taken @ the '93 Brough Families Day in conditions which were somewhat challenging. Grey a/c against grey sky worst possible combination.
