Photo Comment

The first new build Martel capable Buccaneer delivered in 1968, XV352 flew first with A&AEE Boscombe Down for weapons trials. Photographed at Cold Lake participating in Maple Flag exercises, it would later be a Gulf War veteran (Operation Granby). Retired with the rest of the Buccaneers in 1994, it was scrapped. The nose section was saved, however and it's presently on display at the RAF Manston History Museum, Kent.
