thats the one :)
shame the Cvix isnt flying at the moment, needs to be undercover in my opinion.
I'd love to get closer to the Buccaneer, or any for that matter, it just makes me sad to see it sat there all the time.
and they were thinking about flying it in 2008 it could be airworthy, and it could do a fast taxi but no one will do it.
if i had the choice and the money when im older i'd buy it. :(

True, but you might not want to say that to the operator, unless you enjoy waterboarding! ;)

Always nice to see A Buccaneer and a Sea Vixen so thanks for sharing.

Well I saw a Merlin today which was nice. Shame it was a million miles away and just a mere dot on the camera but hey, the noise of hearing something "military sounding" made up for that fact :)

An Andover and a KC-135 (Quid something, didn't catch the number) were doing circuits at Waddington earlier, then they both buggered off =))
And now the Arrows have come out to play \:D/
