... and now a 1965 Navy Buccaneer

[Fibrous Freddie]

Dear All
Biggin Hill BoB 1965 again (I think...) Soooooo long ago, 25 years after the BoB that is now 82 years ago!!!

Fabulous access to the aeroplanes... however I reckon that I'd do a very, very, very careful pre-fight on the Monday a.m.
Love the navy chappie with the fag...

That's all for Friday... scanner needs a rest and cool down!
Thanks for looking!

Thanks for sharing this shot, interesting shot and I wonder if it was a very new Bucc. There's no codes or any other markings on it.

Biggin Hill BoB 1965 again (I think...)

XV153 at Biggin Hill 1966. Written off on 6/10/66 in Subic Bay while serving with 801 Sqn - stalled after take-off (due to a particular underwing weapons' loading). Both crew rescued.

HTH,

Was this the incident that was possibly followed by a test pilot repeating it in trials from a carrier?

Very authentic....particularly with the attendant matelots. (Could be re-enactors tho'!)

I don't think "re-enactors" had been thought up or needed then!

That's a gorgeous looking aeroplane, thanks for posting.

PS keep up the great scanning!!
