  Buccaneer - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Buccaneer is a term that was used in the later 17th century in the Caribbean Islands.
Buccaneers were commissioned by the British to attack the French, Dutch and Spanish shipping and colonies, making Port Royal the most prosperous city in the West Indies.
Buccaneers originally began to occupy Jamaica, Hispaniola, and Tortuga.

 Silver Eagle's Buccaneer Letterbox Page   (Site not responding. Last check: )
The Buccaneers got their name from the meaning of the French word "boucan" (which means barbecue), as they were frequently seen barbecuing their meat on grills (they learned this form of cooking from the Arawak Indians).
The buccaneers were driven out by the Spanish, and the persecuted hunters banded with groups of runaway slaves, deserters, and other’s who hated the Spanish and sought vengeance on their vessels.
The word buccaneer soon became common, and by the 17th century was used to describe pirates and privateers who had bases in the West Indies and frequented the Gulf Coast.

 The Blackburn Buccaneer   (Site not responding. Last check: )
The Buccaneer S.1 could carry an alternative conventional warload of up to eight 450 kilogram (1,000 pound) bombs, with four in the bomb bay and one on each of its four underwing pylons, though six total was a more typical fit.
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, the free encyclopedia
The Blackburn Buccaneer was a British attack aircraft serving with the Royal Air Force and the Fleet Air Arm.
South Africa was the only country other than the United Kingdom to operate the Buccaneer, where it was in service with the South African Air Force from 1965 to 1991.
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.

 North Sails One Design
It is best to set up the mast rake on your older Buccaneer so that with the correct amount of rig tension (less rig tension than on newer boats) the mast will be 1/4" to 3/8" away from the forward edge of the deck partner (on boats where the mast is stepped below deck level).
Many older Buccaneers have come from the factory with the centerboard over 1” forward of where it is located on the newer boats.
This imaginary "batten" is usually set parallel to the centerline of the boat which makes the upper leech of the jib twist outboard slightly and the lower leech of the jib twist inboard slightly.

 Buccaneer Archipelago Tourism
The Buccaneer Archipelago and the Broome and the Kimberley regions were important parts of the trading route of the many Aboriginal tongues and the artefacts from the Kimberley region, such as the ochre earth and large trochus shells were valuable trading items.
Today, the Buccaneer Archipelago is otherwise practically uninhabited except for the diverse range of unusual and exciting animals found on the scattered islands.
A major attraction of the Buccaneer Archipelago is the ‘Horizontal Waterfall’ caused by the powerful tidal movements in the area.

 The Blackburn Buccaneer
The Buccaneer originally used 50 millimeter (2 inch) rockets in 36-round packs, but this weapon was later phased out in preference to the 68 millimeter (2.7 inch) Matra SNEB rocket in 18 round packs.
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.
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.

 Buccaneer
Having enjoyed a successful, albeit relatively uneventful, career with the Royal Navy, the Buccaneer realised its true potential with the RAF and S African Air Force where it soon proved itself to be an immensely strong, manoeuvrable and reliable aircraft with a better speed, range and weapons carrying capability than many others.
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.

 buccaneer. The American Heritage® Dictionary of the English Language: Fourth Edition. 2000.
The first recorded use of the French word boucanier, which was borrowed into English, referred to a person on the islands of Hispaniola and Tortuga who hunted wild oxen and boars and smoked the meat in a barbecue frame known in French as a boucan.
This French word came from a Tupi word meaning “a rack used for roasting or for storing things, or a racklike platform supporting a house.”; The original barbecuers seem to have subsequently adopted a more remunerative way of life, piracy, which accounts for the new meaning given to the word.
Buccaneer is recorded first in 1661 in its earlier sense in English; the sense we are familiar with is recorded in 1690.

 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.

At a glance, Black Buccaneer from Widescreen Games (the creators of Airborne Troops, a game that does not, incidentally, feature a widescreen mode) may look and sound like Warrior Within, but it'll need to polish out all the monkey fighting and crazy leaps of faith before we can put the two in the same category.
