Buccaneer XX894

Postby Gully » Sat Dec 12, 2009 9:33 pm

I had some free time today after the sun abandoned the sky and left me with the impossible task of clearing up leaves in the dark, so I finally got around to doing some digging into the restoration of Bucc XX894: the Navy liveried example at Brunty. In so doing, I happened across a website for The Blackburn Buccaneer Society and on their forum are lots of pictures and footage of the ongoing restoration and anti-det runs. Well worth a read / watch if you're a Bucc fan. Link here: http://buccsociety.conforums.com/index.cgi?board=restorations&action=display&num=1166290082

The remainder of the website certainly kills some time too. There's another couple of threads about the other Brunty-based Buccs.

Enjoy :D ,

Cor, that Bucc looks good enough to fly! =P~

And in Navy colours too. As it should be. ;)
This is my sig:

I hope it's not too inflammatory and I hope that certain people wont completely misunderstand it like they did with the last one.
