Buccaneer over Cape Town

Post by CHINOOKER » Wed Jan 06, 2016 9:50 am

Whilst watching the England-South Africa cricket match at Newlands yesterday lunchtime,on Sky sports,there seemed to be a flypast/flyover the ground,(difficult to know exactly without being there),of a Buccaneer. Much was made of the noise it made by the commentators etc as it went over. Does anyone know the identity of this aircraft,or it's possible base. I assumed it might be a Thunder City??,aircraft,but I thought that they had ceased operating. Many thanks.
