Blackburn Buccaneer. High speed low level strike aircraft of the Fleet Air Arm, and Royal Air Force which was used in the Gulf War. The Blackburn Buccaneer is shown in aviation paintings by Randall Wilson and Michael Rondot. Buccaneer art prints available from aviationprints.co.uk.

BLACKBURN BUCCANEER    Two seater low level attack aircraft of the fleet air arm.  The first proto type flew in April 1958, and Fleet Air Arm trials started in March 1961, and the Buccanneer entered service in July 1962 with 801 squadron.  Buccaneer MKII  entered service with the Fleet Air Arm in July 1962.  The Royal Air Force  began operating Blackburn Buccaneer's in October 1969 with 12 squadron.  A Total of 42 aircraft were ordered for the Royal Air Force and a further 60 came from the Fleet Air Arm later.  They were a very rugged and maneuverable aircraft and were excellent at their low level attack role.  The Buccaneer was last used on active service during the Gulf war  in pin pointing targets for other Royal Air Force aircraft.

Buccaneer Thunder by Michael Rondot.

Built to fly low and fast over very long distances, the Buccaneer reigned supreme during the Cold War years both as a carrier-borne and land-based strike aircraft. For 30 years, first with the Royal Navy Fleet Air Arm then with the Royal Air Force and the South African Air Force, the Buccaneers achievements in the low-level strike role approached the proportions of legend. Roy Boots classic design is unbeatable in many respects even by the latest and most potent fighters and this much-loved aircraft is still immensely popular. It enjoys a unique reputation as a tough and reliable shipyard foundry-built aircraft and is sorely missed by those who flew it or worked on it and regarded it as irreplaceable. Pressed into service at short notice during the Gulf War, the Buccaneer and its aircrews finally proved in the most spectacular manner what many had been saying for years, - that the Buccaneer was a truly outstanding machine that could only be replaced by another Buccaneer.

Blue -Fire! by Michael Rondot.

Buccaneer aircraft in action, launching a co-ordinated attack with Sea Eagle anti-ship sea-skimming missiles, the moment when the leader of the first element (callsign Blue) achieves his firing solution and initiates the ripple launch of his formations missiles by breaking radio silence with the traditional 208 Squadron radio call of Blue,-Fire! Nightmare scenario. Dusk over an empty sea. With lights out and in radio silence, three Buccaneers, each armed with 4 Sea-Eagle missiles, prepare to attack a Surface Action Group still beyond radar range. 150 miles away, three more Buccaneers are approaching the same target in a pincer attack timed to hit the target at exactly the same time. The first warning that the target will receive of the attack is when all 24 missile radar seekers switch on at close range for the final phase of the attack. Whilst the Buccaneers escape unseen, the defenses will be swamped with their worst nightmare - two volleys of missiles approaching without warning, at wave-top height, at 180 degrees to each other.

As a tribute to the mighty Buccaneer, artist Michael Rondot has painted in his Classic Combat Aircraft Series a striking and powerful image of a Buccaneer "smoking" at 540 knots at low level.

Buccaneer Strike Force by Philip E West.  The Blackburn Buccaneer first entered service with the Royal Navy in July 1962.  Designed specifically to operate from the Royal Navy's aircraft carriers, with the ability to fly low and fats, the Buccaneer was also able to carry nuclear weapons for use against soviet naval targets.  Capable of flying 646mph at 200 feet the Buccaneer was a formidable low-level strike aircraft which quickly attracted admirers.  amongst them were 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.
