That is a stunner.
Loved the "Raspberry Ripple" paint scheme.

Lovely shots sir . Now I think the ''ripple '' one has Tornado '' GR '' radar nose , is that thought correct ? And the 2nd one , has that a Tornado '' F '' radar nose ? Makes you wonder what squadron Buccs with a GR radar would have been like .
rgds condor.

Indeed correct though of course '272 was only a test ship - there were never any plans to install a GR1 nose in the Bucc - the crews seemed quite happy with their elastic band powered Blue Parrot.
In my best Frankie Howerd voice "what a lovely pair"!....
