The South African Air Force was the only foreign operator of the Buccaneer with an initial order of 16 and an option for a further 20 that was cancelled. One aircraft, "417" was lost on the delivery flight in1965 and this is one of five remaining when service operations with No. 24 Squadron were terminated on 28 March 1991.
