	The Blackburn Buccaneer
		The Buccaneer was evaluated with the US-built AGM-12 Bullpup radio-guided air-to-surface missile in 1965.
		In the early 1980s, the Panavia Tornado IDS began to replace the Buccaneer in the overland strike role, and the Buccaneer was increasingly reassigned to maritime strike, retaining overland attack as a secondary mission.
		Buccaneer advocates were not entirely enthusiastic about this switch, as the Tornado had shorter range than the Buccaneer, and could only carry two Sea Eagles, in contrast to the Buccaneer's store of four such missiles.

	Blackburn Buccaneer – Wikipedia
		Blackburn Buccaneer oli brittiläinen rynnäkkökone, joka palveli Royal Air Forcessa ja Fleet Air Armissa 1960-luvulta vuoteen 1994 asti.
		Buccaneer suunniteltiin merivoimien vuoden 1953 vaatimuksen mukaan tukialuskoneeksi, joka pystyisi lentämään pitkän matkan vihollisen tutkan alapuolella kantaen ydinasetta ja hyökkäämään laivoja ja satamia vastaan.
		Buccaneer jäi käytöstä merivoimissa lentotukialus HMS Ark Royalista (R09) luopumisen yhteydessä 1978, jolloin loput koneet siirrettiin ilmavoimiin.

	Blackburn Buccaneer
		Although the Buccaneer was repeatedly offered to the RAF to meet their requirement for a new high-speed low-level bomber to replace the Canberra, the RAF were convinced that the TSR-2 best met their requirements.
		The reconnaissance pack was first used operationally by the Buccaneers of 800 NAS flying from HMS Eagle during the Beira patrols, the oil blockage of the newly independent Rhodesia, in 1966 when two tankers attempting to break the blockade were identified and photographed.
		The Buccaneer was an aeroplane much loved by those who served on the various squadrons, but having been designed in the 1950's s and never really updated, it's hardly surprising that by the 1980's it was suffering from its poor avionics and could only ever operate at low-level in good weather.

		Blackburn Aircraft Company was taken over by the Hawker Siddeley Group in May 1963.
		The Buccaneer S 1 was designed to achieve surprise by flying at subsonic speed under the enemy radar to deliver nuclear or conventional bombs against targets at sea or on land.
		The Buccaneer was designed to carry a substantial payload without the need to fly at airframe stressing supersonic speeds.

	The Blackburn Buccaneer
		The Buccaneer could be operated as a tanker, carrying a Flight Refueling LTD M20 probe-and-drogue refueling pack with a capacity of 636 liters (168 US gallons) under the right wing, augmented by a slipper tank under the left wing.
		In the early 1980s, the Panavia Tornado IDS began to replace the Buccaneer in the overland strike role, and the Buccaneer was increasingly reassigned to maritime strike, retaining overland attack as a secondary mission.
		Buccaneer advocates were not entirely enthusiastic about this switch, since the Tornado had shorter range than the Buccaneer and could only carry two Sea Eagles, in contrast to the Buccaneer's store of four such missiles.

		Blackburn originally considered the Armstrong Siddeley "Sapphire Sa.7" engine with 4,990 kilograms (11,000 pounds) thrust, but it proved too bulky and heavy.
		Blackburn compromised by using a small wing that incorporated a "flap blowing" or "boundary layer control (BLC)" system.
		Blackburn engineers used area-ruling to improve the design's aerodynamics, while also increasing the storage capacity of the aircraft's fuselage, giving the aircraft a distinctive set of full-bodied curves.

	Blackburn Buccaneer S.Mk.2B by Ingo Degenhardt (Airfix 1/48)
		The Buccaneers flew a total of 226 sorties in their guise as the ‘Sky Pirates’, most of them sporting a Jolly Roger flag on the left fuselage side under the windshield.
		Another etched-metal parts set by Airwaves used on this Buccaneer is the wing fold set – needless to say it is much superior to the wing fold mechanism provided in the kit.
		The Airfix Buccaneer is a tough adversary, one you need some skills and a good amount of self-confidence and fortitude to overcome it’s fierce resistance to being build properly.

	Buccaneer
		The Buccaneer, built by Blackburn (BAe) at Brough, epitomises the fast, low-level ground attack concept with its inherently stable ride famously being likened to that of a "Ball bearing on glass".
		The Buccaneer was prematurely withdrawn from service in 1994 as a result of arms reduction talks and the subsequent rationalisation of RAF assets, it being replaced in the maritime strike role by the arguably less capable but more modern and surplus Tornado aircraft.
		The Buccaneer was designed in the late 1950's as a low-level, long range, high speed, strike / attack / recce aircraft for carrier and land operations.

	BLACKBURN BUCCANEER - HISTORY
		A brief spot in the limelight was afforded to Buccaneers of 800 and 736 NAS when they were called upon to bomb the stricken oil tanker Torrey Canyon to break her up and ignite the spilling oil in order to burn it off and prevent coastal damage.
		Buccaneers hung on in the navy longer than expected, being upgraded to S.2C standard (similar to the S.2A) and some to S.2D standard (similar to the S.2B).
		In the last weeks of service, some of 208's Buccaneers were painted in colour schemes reflecting the use of the Buccaneer by both the RN and RAF over the years, but it all ended in March 1994 as the new 12 squadron became fully operational.

		The Buccaneer is a mid-wing aircraft; its appearance is determined by an area-ruled fuselage, circular engine bays flanking the fuselage, a bulged rotating bomb bay door, and a T-tail.
		Weighing in at 55,000 pounds, the Buccaneer is a low level strike attack aircraft designed to fly very low and very fast.
		This Buccaneer is a work in progress for the "Strike Fighters" simulation, awaiting for more details from Third Wire on how to implement third party planes in the main simulation.

		Typical of the NA 39 are the longer exhaust pipes, the lack of the area ruling fairings on top of the horizontal stabilizer and the small intakes.
		The Buccaneer SB.2 can be seen with round main wing tips with the ailerons extending to the ends or with the straight wing tips with fuel dump as provided in the kit.
		As the inboard flap section is always drooped when a Buccaneer is at rest on the ground, this inboard trailing edge flap was thus cut out using a fine razor saw.

		The Buccaneer is a particularly good machine, with excellent performance 'on the deck' because of careful aerodynamic design, and first-class low-speed handling characteristics as a result of a 'super-circulation' boundary-layer control system.
		Carrier trials began in early 1960, having been delayed several months by the stall and crash of one of the prototypes, with both crew members killed after ejecting from their inverted aircraft.
		Ground-based Buccaneers operated out of a number of naval air stations, but the Buccaneer would be particularly associated with the naval air station at Lossiemouth, on the northeast coast of Scotland.

		The Buccaneer is a mid-wing aircraft; its appearance is determined by an area-ruled fuselage, circular engine bays flanking the fuselage, a bulged rotating bomb bay door, and a T-tail.
		The first Buccaneer S.1s were replaced in 1965 with Spey-engined S.2 s, and soon after, the Royal Air Force inherited all the Navy's Buccaneers when a political decision was made to remove all fixed-wing carriers from Naval service.
		The Buccaneer first saw combat in the 1970s and 1980s with the SAAF, but it was not until the very end of the type's RAF service that the Buccaneer was able to prove itself in the service of its "home country." In 1991, Buccaneers fought very successfully in Iraq and Kuwait during Operation Desert Storm.

	Blackburn Buccaneer - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The Blackburn Buccaneer was a British attack aircraft serving with the Royal Air Force and the Fleet Air Arm.
		The Buccaneer was built to fulfil the Naval Staff Requirement NA 39 issued in 1953 for a carrier-borne strike aircraft with a long range capable of carrying a nuclear weapon below enemy radar and attacking ships or ports.
		Due to secrecy the aircraft was called BNA (Blackburn Naval Aircraft) or BANA (Blackburn Advanced Naval Aircraft) in documents leading to the obvious nickname of "Banana Jet".

	Buccaneer S.Mk.2 by Jan Forsgren (Airfix 1/72)
		Meanwhile, the Buccaneer Mk 50 version had been supplied to the South African Air Force (SAAF) in 1965, these were fitted with a supplementary twin-chamber rocket motor in the aft fuselage to facilitate takeoffs from hot, high-altitude airfields.
		It is in South Africa that the Buccaneer first saw combat in the 1970s, but it was not until the very end of its career that the Buccaneer was able to prove itself in the service of its home country.
		One thing that should be noted with the Buccaneer is that the forward seat is offset a little to the port side, while the rear seat is offset to starboard.

	Blackburn Buccaneer Carrier-Borne Low-Level Strike Bomber - Military and Civilian Aircraft
		The Blackburn Buccaneer was a highly-respected low-level carrier-borne strike aircraft utilized by the Royal Air Force and the Royal Navy.
		The Buccaneer featured a crew of two (seated between the engine intakes in tandem), an internal weapons bay to compliment the external stores and an ingenious tailcone that could be split vertically and used as a large-area air brake.
		As a strike fighter, the Buccaneer could be counted on to carry a myriad of air-surface weaponry including iron bombs, structure-destroying missiles, anti-ship missiles and rocket pods.

		Blackburn Buccaneer, Low level strike aircraft of the Fleet Air Arm, and Royal Air Force, in Naval aviation art prints, The Blackburn Buccaneer is shown in naval aviation paintings by Randall Wilson, from the Carrier HMS Ark Royal.
		The Buccaneer was last used on active service during the Gulf war in pin pointing targets for other Royal Air Force aircraft.
		Whilst the Buccaneers escape unseen, the defences will be swamped with their worst nightmare - two volleys of missiles approaching without warning, at wave-top height, at 180 degrees to each other.

		Designed specifically to operate from the Royal Navy's aircraft carriers, with the ability to fly low and fast, the Buccaneer was also able to carry nuclear weapons for use against Soviet naval targets.
		Amongst them was the RAF and the South African Air Force, both of whom adopted the Blackburn Buccaneer for their land based operations.
		Just as the Buccaneer was facing retirement it was called into action again to play a vital role in Kuwait and Iraq during the 1991 Gulf War.

	Aerospaceweb.org \| Aircraft Museum - Buccaneer
		While most aircraft of the period stressed supersonic, high altitude flight, the Buccaneer was designed to a Royal Navy requirement for a bomber to fly subsonic, under-the-radar missions to penetrate enemy airspace without detection.
		The Buccaneer was also fitted with an internal bomb bay for up to four 1,000 lb bombs, thereby maintaining a clean exterior and allowing the aircraft to cruise at higher speeds and with lower fuel consumption than the Mirage III or F-4.
		Time eventually caught up with the Buccaneer, however, and all were retired from British service by 1994 and replaced by the Tornado IDS.

		Although Buccaneers in the latter half of the 1980's were deployed in the maritime strike role, the 1991 Gulf War would see quite different mission profile.
		Some of the known inaccuracies in the mold are generally blamed on the fact (or belief) that the tooling was a development of the old Blackburn Buccaneer kit issued in 1960.
		Neither Buccaneer kit is currently a 'live' catalogue item, but the Airfix kit will hopefully resurface in the next couple of years.

		The proposal from Blackburn was a modified version of the NA.39 Buccaneer naval attack aircraft, which it was going to build for the Royal Navy.
		But this idea was dismissed by the RAF: The Blackburn NA.39 was unsuitable because it was subsonic, had a too short range, required a too long runway, and had an insufficiently advanced bombing system.
		A single Buccaneer, XK487, had been used as a testbed for the TSR.2's radar in 1963, and had attracted new interest from the RAF because of its excellent performance at low altitudes.
