Duke Hawkins 036 - Blackburn Buccaneer

The Blackburn Buccaneer is one of those typical British aircraft designs that has proven itself more versatile and effective than originally intended. While it was extremely stable when flying at high speeds and very low level for both the Fleet Air Arm and Royal Air Force, it was near the end of its career that it got into the spotlight it so deserved; during the first Gulf War, the few Blackburn Buccaneers that were deployed became important assets for other aircraft to destroy targets with precision weapons.
