Despite its colour scheme, this is a RAF aircraft. It was painted in these colours (Royal Navy 809 Squadron) to mark the Buccaneer's retirement from service on 31 March 1994. The aircraft is also a Gulf war veteran (1st one) with 7 missions to its credit. This photo is copyright © Ian Howat, and may not be used or published in any way without permission.
