CORRECTION - having been contacted by a rather lovley chap who flew these, he points out that actually the blown surfaces were fairly easy to handle on approach for a pilot who knew what they were doing and it was rather good at hitting the deck right. Who am I to gain say one of Her Majesty's officers?
In which Lord Hardthrasher examines the wild and whacky story of Blackburn Aircraft, and thier only really sucsessful military aircraft, the Blackburn Buccaneer. Zero feet, 0.95 Mach, big missiles, what's not to like

With special thanks to The Buccaneer, Brough for making one of the most terrible self promotion videos ever seen - • Video sadly it seems that it's marked as "temporarily closed" and the latest trip advisor reviews are...not good.
