Are you sure about the date? The reason I ask, is that there is a report in WLAG/SEAR for both the 23/03/1990 and 24/03/1990 and no mention of any RAF Buccaneers, which were not a common site in Spain, that is of course, unless it was your report to SEAR?

Only visitors noted were:

23/03/1990: 2x F-111F 48thTFW 'LN' 70-2396 and 70-2412 marked '493 AMU'

24/03/1990 3x F-15 32ndTFS 'CR' 79-0020, 79-0031 and 80-0010.

C-141B 63-8078, 64-0612

Sadly not a good clue but a pal of mine gave me a video titled Buccaneer the last british bomber which had references to a deployment in thet area .Sadly that got binned here but might be on you tube. Dont know if serials are visible but it might be a start.It is in the right time slot I think.

No problem dont have to offer as most records got lost years ago and some rebuilt with all your help.Its nice when I can possibly help.Best of luck.
