Classic Aircraft

I have tremendous respect for these all British aircraft; incredible performance, even today. I have to confess as I kid, I thought the Buccaneer was as about as sleek and attractive as a roughed up parrott. When I first looked at it again not that long ago it instantly reminded me of a pregnant penguin. "They should have called it Frankenstein" I used to think. But having learned more of its performance and read a few stories of its exploits and capability I have nothing but admiration for what it did in its day. I would love to hear any accounts of what it was really like to fly and of its performance.

The Lightning just takes your breath away looking at it; stunning performance.

A great site for aircraft pics is https://www.airliners.net/ - great variety and quality pics.
